Dynamic fitness landscapes in molecular evolution

CO Wilke, C Ronnewinkel, T Martinetz - Physics Reports, 2001‏ - Elsevier
We study self-replicating molecules under externally varying conditions. Changing
conditions such as temperature variations and/or alterations in the environment's resource …

Biological evolution and statistical physics

B Drossel - Advances in physics, 2001‏ - Taylor & Francis
This review is an introduction to theoretical models and mathematical calculations for
biological evolution, aimed at physicists. The methods in the field are naturally very similar to …

Ising quantum chain is equivalent to a model of biological evolution

E Baake, M Baake, H Wagner - Physical Review Letters, 1997‏ - APS
A sequence space model which describes the interplay of mutation and selection in
molecular evolution is shown to be equivalent to an Ising quantum chain. Three explicit …

Mutation–selection models solved exactly with methods of statistical mechanics

E Baake, H Wagner - Genetics Research, 2001‏ - cambridge.org
We reconsider deterministic models of mutation and selection acting on populations of
sequences, or, equivalently, multilocus systems with complete linkage. Exact analytical …

Viral quasi-species and recombination

MC Boerlijst, S Bonhoeffer… - Proceedings of the …, 1996‏ - royalsocietypublishing.org
Virus populations are complex ensembles of distinct but related genomes (so called quasi-
species). Mathematical descriptions of viral quasi-species focus on point mutations as the …

Compensatory neutral mutations and the evolution of RNA

PG Higgs - Genetica, 1998‏ - Springer
There are many examples of RNA molecules in which the secondary structure has been
strongly conserved during evolution, but the base sequence is much less conserved, eg …

Model dependency of error thresholds: the role of fitness functions and contrasts between the finite and infinite sites models

T Wiehe - Genetics Research, 1997‏ - cambridge.org
Based on a deterministic mutation–selection model the concept of error thresholds is
critically examined. It has often been argued that genetic information–for instance, an …

Genotypes with phenotypes: Adventures in an RNA toy world

P Schuster - Biophysical chemistry, 1997‏ - Elsevier
Evolution has created the complexity of the animate world and deciphering the language of
evolution is the key towards understanding nature. The dynamics of evolution is simplified …

[ספר][B] Molecular insights into evolution of phenotypes

P Schuster - 2003‏ - tbi.univie.ac.at
Success and efficiency of Darwinian evolution is based on the dichotomy of genotype and
phenotype: The former is the object under variation whereas the latter constitutes the target …
