Shannon information criterion for low-high diversity transition in Moran and Voter models
Gabriella D. Franco, Flavia M. D. Marquitti, Lucas D. Fernandes +2
Mutation and drift play opposite roles in genetics. While mutation creates diversity, drift can cause gene variants to disappear, especially when they are rare. In the absence of n…
Driven transport on a flexible polymer with particle recycling: a model inspired by transcription and translation
Lucas D. Fernandes, Luca Ciandrini
Many theoretical works have attempted to coarse grain gene expression at the level of transcription and translation via frameworks based on exclusion processes. Usually in these mo…
Cooperative response and clustering: consequences of membrane-mediated interactions among mechanosensitive channels
Lucas D. Fernandes, Ksenia Guseva, Alessandro P. S. de Moura
Mechanosensitive (MS) channels are ion channels which act as cells' safety valves, opening when the osmotic pressure becomes too high and making cells avoid damage by releasing ion…
Gene length as a regulator for ribosome recruitment and protein synthesis: theoretical insights
Lucas D. Fernandes, Alessandro P. S. de Moura, Luca Ciandrini
Protein synthesis rates are determined, at the translational level, by properties of the transcript's sequence. The efficiency of an mRNA can be tuned by varying the ribosome bindi…
