Random Walks: Moran Process and Examples

This lecture covers the concept of random walks, focusing on the Moran process and various examples. It discusses the dynamics of individuals moving between different states, such as staying or transitioning. The lecture explores the application of random walks in population genetics, protein abundance modeling, and bacterial chemotaxis. It also delves into the implications of randomness in biological processes, including the role of thermal fluctuations and the significance of random walks in biological systems.
