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…
Dislocations Jam At Any Density
Georgios Tsekenis, Nigel Goldenfeld, Karin A. Dahmen
Crystalline materials deform in an intermittent way via dislocation-slip avalanches. Below a critical stress, the dislocations are jammed within their glide plane due to long-range…
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…
Global organization of protein complexome in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Sang Hoon Lee, Pan-Jun Kim, Hawoong Jeong
Proteins in organisms, rather than act alone, usually form protein complexes to perform cellular functions. We analyze the topological network structure of protein complexes and th…
Theory of cooperation in a micro-organismal snow-drift game
Zhenyu Wang, Nigel Goldenfeld
We present a mean field model for the phase diagram of a community of micro-organisms, interacting through their metabolism so that they are, in effect, engaging in a cooperative s…
Fluctuation-driven Turing patterns
Thomas Butler, Nigel Goldenfeld
Models of diffusion driven pattern formation that rely on the Turing mechanism are utilized in many areas of science. However, many such models suffer from the defect of requiring…
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…
