Spatial gene drives and pushed genetic waves.
Gene drives have the potential to rapidly replace a harmful wild-type allele with a gene drive allele engineered to have desired functionalities. However, an accidental or premature release of a gene drive construct to the natural environment could damage an ecosystem irreversibly. Thus, it is important to understand the spatiotemporal consequences of the super-Mendelian population genetics bef...
متن کاملQuantized motion of a particle pushed around by waves
When a marble rolls down a sloped surface it eventually oscillates about a low point. With friction, it finally comes to a rest at the low point. Electrons are pulled towards an atomic nucleus like the marble is pulled downhill towards a low point by gravity. There are no frictional forces on the electron, but an electron circling around a nucleus creates radiation and these electromagnetic wav...
متن کاملNeither pulled nor pushed: Genetic drift and front wandering uncover a new class of reaction-diffusion waves
Short Abstract: Traveling waves describe diverse natural phenomena from crystal growth in physics to range expansions in biology. Two classes of waves exist with very different properties: pulled and pushed. Pulled waves are noisy because they are driven by high growth rates at the expansion edge, where the number of organisms is small. In contrast, fluctuations are suppressed in pushed waves b...
متن کاملWhat drives mergers and acquisitions waves in developing countries? Evidences from Iranian banking industry
M any Middle-East countries, like Iran, have dynamic banking industries and have observed merger and acquisitions (M&A) waves. M&A waves are usually defined in the developed world context and some of their main drivers were identified as: market timing, environment's shocks, merger manias, government regulation and regulatory, and technological changes. It has been discussed that merger waves ...
متن کاملSpatial Gene Frequency Waves Under Genotype-Dependent Dispersal.
Dispersal is a crucial factor in natural evolution, since it determines the habitat experienced by any population and defines the spatial scale of interactions between individuals. There is compelling evidence for systematic differences in dispersal characteristics within the same population, i.e., genotype-dependent dispersal. The consequences of genotype-dependent dispersal on other evolution...
