Confidence in the dynamic spread of epidemics under biased sampling conditions
James D. Brunner, Nicholas Chia
The interpretation of sampling data plays a crucial role in policy response to the spread of a disease during an epidemic, such as the COVID-19 epidemic of 2020. However, this is a…
Metabolite mediated modeling of microbial community dynamics captures emergent behavior more effectively than species-species modeling
James D. Brunner, Nicholas Chia
Personalized models of the gut microbiome are valuable for disease prevention and treatment. For this, one requires a mathematical model that predicts microbial community compositi…
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…
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…
