Bacterial Evolution and Bak-Sneppen Model

چکیده
Recently, Lenski et al [1, 2, 3] have carried out several experiments on bacterial evolution. Their findings support the theory of punctuated equilibrium in biological evolution. They have further quantified the relative contributions of adaptation, chance and history to bacterial evolution. In this paper, we show that a modified M -trait Bak-Sneppen model can explain many of the experimental results in a qualitative manner.

Bacterial evolution and the Bak-Sneppen model
Recently, Lenski et al \cite{Elena,Lenski,Travisano} have carried out several experiments on bacterial evolution. Their findings support the theory of punctuated equilibrium in biological evolution. They have further quantified the relative contributions of adaptation, chance and history to bacterial evolution. In this Brief Report, we show that a modified M-trait Bak-Sneppen model can explain ...
متن کاملSolution of the Master Equation for Bak-Sneppen Model of Biological Evolution in Finite Ecosystem
The master equations describing processes of biological evolution in the framework of the random neighbor Bak-Sneppen model are studied. For the eqosystem of N species they are solved exactly and asymptotical behavior of this solution for large N is analyzed.
متن کاملAsymptotic fitness distribution in the Bak-Sneppen model of biological evolution with four species
We suggest a new method to compute the asymptotic fitness distribution in the Bak–Sneppen model of biological evolution. As applications we derive the full asymptotic distribution in the four-species model, and give an explicit linear recurrence relation for a set of coefficients determining the asymptotic distribution in the five-species model.
متن کاملJa n 20 03 On the limit behaviour of the Bak - Sneppen evolution model
One of the key problems related to the Bak-Sneppen evolution model on the circle is to compute the limit distribution of the fitness at a fixed observation vertex in the stationary regime, as the size of the system tends to infinity. Simulations in [4] and [1] suggest that this limit distribution is uniform on (f, 1), for some f ∼ 2/3. In this paper we prove that the mean of the fitness in the ...

One of the key problems related to the Bak–Sneppen evolution model on the circle is computing the limit distribution of the fitness at a fixed observation vertex in the stationary regime as the size of the system tends to infinity. Some simulations have suggested that this limit distribution is uniform on (f,1) for some f ∼ 2/3. In this article, we prove that the mean of the fitness in the stat...
