Genetic Recombination as a Chemical Reaction Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dedicated to the memory of the Viennese chemists and mathematicians Rudolf Wegscheider (1859–1935), Hilda Geiringer (1893–1973), and Friedrich J. M. Horn (1927–1978) Abstract The process of genetic recombination can be seen as a chemical reaction network with mass-action kinetics. We review the known results on existence, uniqueness, and global stability of an equilibrium in every compatibility class and for all rate constants, from both the population genetics and the reaction networks point of view.

Kinetic Mechanism Reduction Using Genetic Algorithms, Case Study on H2/O2 Reaction
For large and complex reacting systems, computational efficiency becomes a critical issue in process simulation, optimization and model-based control. Mechanism simplification is often a necessity to improve computational speed. We present a novel approach to simplification of reaction networks that formulates the model reduction problem as an optimization problem and solves it using geneti...

Background: Haplotyping is invaluable not only to identify genetic variants underlying a disease or trait, but also to study evolution and population history as well as meiotic and mitotic recombination processes. Current genome-wide haplotyping methods rely on genomic DNA that is extracted from a large number of cells. Thus far random allele drop out and preferential amplification artifacts of...

Background: The complexity of the fermentation processes is mainly due to the complex nature of the biological systems which follow the life in a non-linear manner. Joined performance of artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA) in finding optimal solutions in experimentation has found to be superior compared to the statistical methods. Range of applications of β-cyclodextrin (...

Nanosheets of MFI zeolite were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method and were properly characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, EDX-dot mapping, TEM, FT-IR, N2 adsorption/desorption, NH3-TPD, ICP-AES and TGA techniques. The characterizations of MFI zeolite nanosheets suitably confirmed well synthesized MFI nanostructure, superior specific surface area (695.96m2.g-1) and great mesopores volume. C...
متن کاملPrediction of the Effect of Polymer Membrane Composition in a Dry Air Humidification Process via Neural Network Modeling
Utilization of membrane humidifiers is one of the methods commonly used to humidify reactant gases in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). In this study, polymeric porous membranes with different compositions were prepared to be used in a membrane humidifier module and were employed in a humidification test. Three different neural network models were developed to investigate several...
