Eigen's Error Threshold and Mutational Meltdown in a Quasispecies Model
We introduce a toy model for interacting populations connected by mutations and limited by a shared resource. We study the presence of Eigen’s error threshold and mutational meltdown. The phase diagram of the system shows that the extinction of the whole population due to mutational meltdown can occur well before an eventual error threshold transition.

متن کاملError threshold in RNA quasispecies models with complementation.
A general assumption of quasispecies models of replicons dynamics is that the fitness of a genotype is entirely determined by its sequence. However, a more biologically plausible situation is that fitness depends on the proteins that catalyze metabolic reactions, including replication. In a stirred population of replicons, such as viruses replicating and accumulating within the same cell, the a...
متن کاملMutational meltdown in laboratory yeast populations.
In small or repeatedly bottlenecked populations, mutations are expected to accumulate by genetic drift, causing fitness declines. In mutational meltdown models, such fitness declines further reduce population size, thus accelerating additional mutation accumulation and leading to extinction. Because the rate of mutation accumulation is determined partly by the mutation rate, the risk and rate o...
متن کاملMutational Meltdown in Large Sexual Populations
When a new mdividual is formed (independently of the reproduction process) it inherits harmful iuutations. Moreover, new mutations are acquired even in the genetic code formation, most of them deleterious ones. This might lead to a time decay in the mean fitness of the whole population that, for long enough time, ,vould produce the extinction of the
