Statistical Mechanics of Horizontal Gene Transfer in Evolutionary Ecology
Nicholas Chia, Nigel Goldenfeld
The biological world, especially its majority microbial component, is strongly interacting and may be dominated by collective effects. In this review, we provide a brief introducti…
Life is physics: evolution as a collective phenomenon far from equilibrium
Nigel Goldenfeld, Carl Woese
Evolution is the fundamental physical process that gives rise to biological phenomena. Yet it is widely treated as a subset of population genetics, and thus its scope is artificial…
The dynamics of gene duplication and transposons in microbial genomes following a sudden environmental change
Nicholas Chia, Nigel Goldenfeld
A variety of genome transformations can occur as a microbial population adapts to a large environmental change. In particular, genomic surveys indicate that, following the transiti…
Fixed points and limit cycles in the population dynamics of lysogenic viruses and their hosts
Zhenyu Wang, Nigel Goldenfeld
Starting with stochastic rate equations for the fundamental interactions between microbes and their viruses, we derive a mean field theory for the population dynamics of microbe-vi…
