A dynamical modeling to study the adaptive immune system and the influence of antibodies in the immune memory
Alexandre de Castro, Carlos Frederico Fronza, Domingos Alves
Immunological systems have been an abundant inspiration to contemporary computer scientists. Problem solving strategies, stemming from known immune system phenomena, have been succ…
Group selection models in prebiotic evolution
D. Alves, P. R. A. Campos, A. T. C. Silva +1
The evolution of enzyme production is studied analytically using ideas of the group selection theory for the evolution of altruistic behavior. In particular, we argue that the math…
Evolution and Ageing
S. Moss de Oliveira, Domingos Alves, J. S. Sa Martins
The idea of this review is to connect the different models of evolution to those of biological ageing through Darwin's theory. We start with the Eigen model of quasispecies for mic…
Error threshold in finite populations
Domingos Alves, J. F. Fontanari
A simple analytical framework to study the molecular quasispecies evolution of finite populations is proposed, in which the population is assumed to be a random combination of the…
Error threshold in the evolution of diploid organisms
Domingos Alves, J. F. Fontanari
The effects of error propagation in the reproduction of diploid organisms are studied within the populational genetics framework of the quasispecies model. The dependence of the er…
A Population Genetic Approach to the Quasispecies Model
Domingos Alves, Jose Fernando Fontanari
A population genetics formulation of Eigen's molecular quasispecies model is proposed and several simple replication landscapes are investigated analytically. Our results show a re…
