Increased adaptability to rapid environmental change can more than make up for the two-fold cost of males
Caroline M. Holmes, Ilya Nemenman, Daniel B. Weissman
The famous "two-fold cost of sex" is really the cost of anisogamy -- why should females mate with males who do not contribute resources to offspring, rather than isogamous partners…
Minimal-assumption inference from population-genomic data
Daniel B. Weissman, Oskar Hallatschek
Samples of multiple complete genome sequences contain vast amounts of information about the evolutionary history of populations, much of it in the associations among polymorphisms…
Ancestry in adapting, spatially-extended populations
Daniel B. Weissman
Selective sweeps affect neutral genetic diversity through hitchhiking. While this effect is limited to the local genomic region of the sweep in panmictic populations, we find that…
Cryptic Genetic Variation Can Make Irreducible Complexity a Common Mode of Adaptation
Meredith V. Trotter, Daniel B. Weissman, Grant I. Peterson +2
The existence of complex (multiple-step) genetic adaptations that are "irreducible" (i.e., all partial combinations are less fit than the original genotype) is one of the longest s…
The rate of adaptation in large sexual populations with linear chromosomes
D. B. Weissman, O. Hallatschek
In large populations, multiple beneficial mutations may be simultaneously spreading. In asexual populations, these mutations must either arise on the same background or compete aga…
