Limits on amplifiers of natural selection under death-Birth updating
The fixation probability of a single mutant invading a population of residents is among the most widely-studied quantities in evolutionary dynamics. Amplifiers of natural selection are population structures that increase the fixation probability of advanta ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2020The fitness landscape of the codon space across environments
Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski
Fitness landscapes map the relationship between genotypes and fitness. However, most fitness landscape studies ignore the genetic architecture imposed by the codon table and thereby neglect the potential role of synonymous mutations. To quantify the fitnes ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2018Computational and Statistical analyses of Molecular Evolution and Demography using Large-scale Sequencing Data
Evolution can be described as the change of allele frequencies over time. Four forces - mutation, migration, genetic drift, and selection, drive this change. The aim of my thesis was to accurately estimate and differentiate the parameters governing each of ...
EPFL2018Inference of genealogies with geolocalised genetic data
Natural populations present an abundant genetic variability. Like mutation or natural se- lection, dierent processes are at stake to generate this variability. Population genetics is a topic that emerged in the late 40's, thanks mainly to the biologists Fi ...
2017The Environment is Everything That Isn't Me: Molecular Mechanisms and Evolutionary Dynamics of Insect Clocks in Variable Surroundings
Antonio Carlos Alves Meireles Filho
Circadian rhythms are oscillations in behavior, metabolism and physiology that have a period close to 24 h. These rhythms are controlled by an internal pacemaker that evolved under strong selective pressures imposed by environmental cyclical changes, mainl ...
Frontiers Media Sa2016Contribution of recombination to the evolutionary history of HIV
Purpose of review: An improved understanding of how recombination affects the evolutionary history of HIV is crucial to understand its current and future evolution. The present review aims to disentangle the manifold effects of recombination on HIV by disc ...
2015Selection methods regulate evolution of cooperation in digital evolution
Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Pawel Lichocki
A key, yet often neglected, component of digital evolution and evolutionary models is the 'selection method' which assigns fitness (number of offspring) to individuals based on their performance scores (efficiency in performing tasks). Here, we study with ...
Royal Soc2014Biogeoinformatics of livestock genomic resources
In 2008, FAO and WAAP published a report on production environment descriptors for animal genetic resources. One of the main conclusions was that it was necessary to quickly systematize the recording of breeds’ geographical coordinates worldwide in order t ...
2014Robust Demographic Inference from Genomic and SNP Data
We introduce a flexible and robust simulation-based framework to infer demographic parameters from the site frequency spectrum (SFS) computed on large genomic datasets. We show that our composite-likelihood approach allows one to study evolutionary models ...
Public Library of Science2013Bipartite Graphs as Models of Population Structures in Evolutionary Multiplayer Games
By combining evolutionary game theory and graph theory, “games on graphs” study the evolutionary dynamics of frequency-dependent selection in population structures modeled as geographical or social networks. Networks are usually represented by means of uni ...
