Punctuated evolution for the quasispecies model
Biological evolution in a sequence space with random fitnesses is studied within Eigen's qua-sispecies model. A strong selection limit is employed, in which the population resides at a single sequence at all times. Evolutionary trajectories start at a randomly chosen sequence and proceed to the global fitness maximum through a small number of intermittent jumps. The distribution of the total ev...
متن کاملPunctuated Equilibrium in Software Evolution
An approach based on the paradigm of self-organized criticality is proposed for experimental investigation and theoretical modeling of software evolution. The dynamics of modifications is studied for three free, open source programs MOZILLA, FREE-BSD, and EMACS using the data from version control systems. Scaling laws typical for self-organized criticality found. A model of software evolution p...
متن کاملPunctuated Evolution of Prostate Cancer Genomes
The analysis of exonic DNA from prostate cancers has identified recurrently mutated genes, but the spectrum of genome-wide alterations has not been profiled extensively in this disease. We sequenced the genomes of 57 prostate tumors and matched normal tissues to characterize somatic alterations and to study how they accumulate during oncogenesis and progression. By modeling the genesis of genom...
متن کاملPunctuated Evolution due to Delayed Carrying Capacity
A new delay equation is introduced to describe the punctuated evolution of complex nonlinear systems. A detailed analytical and numerical investigation provides the classification of all possible types of solutions for the dynamics of a population in the four main regimes dominated respectively by: (i) gain and competition, (ii) gain and cooperation, (iii) loss and competition and (iv) loss and...
متن کاملMolecular Punctuated Equilibrium in the Evolution of Rhopalura ophiocomae (Mesozoa: Orthonectida) 18S rRNA, Hairpin 17
Alternative states of the predicted structure of hairpin 17 in the small-subunit ribosomal RNA genes are described. Each of these structures is characteristic of one or several phylons of animals. For example, one of the alternatives could be found in the rRNA of most Bilateria, but not in protists, fungi, plants, or diploblastic animals. A presumable secondary structure of the 18S rRNA hairpin...
