Conditioning as a route to stereotyped behavior in growing populations

Riccardo Ravasio, Kabir Husain, Constantine G. Evans +4

Biological systems perform complex multi-step processes in a reproducible way despite underlying stochasticity. The standard explanation is micromanagement by molecular machinery t…

Suppression of errors in collectively coded information

Martin J. Falk, Leon Zhou, Yoshiya J. Matsubara +3

Modern life largely transmits genetic information from mother to daughter through the duplication of single physically intact molecules that encode information. However, copying an…

A minimal scenario for the origin of non-equilibrium order

Riccardo Ravasio, Kabir Husain, Constantine G. Evans +4

Life uses non-equilibrium mechanisms to create ordered structures not attainable at equilibrium; the resulting order is assumed to provide functional benefits that outweigh costs o…

Physical constraints on epistasis

Kabir Husain, Arvind Murugan

Living systems evolve one mutation at a time, but a single mutation can alter the effect of subsequent mutations. The underlying mechanistic determinants of such epistasis are uncl…

Tuning environmental timescales to evolve and maintain generalists

Vedant Sachdeva, Kabir Husain, Jiming Sheng +2

Natural environments can present diverse challenges, but some genotypes remain fit across many environments. Such `generalists' can be hard to evolve, out-competed by specialists f…
