A method for comparing inferred evolutionary accumulation dynamics across covariates and model structures

Jakob Fernø, Michelle B. Verstraaten, Lila Gravellier +3

In this note we describe a method for comparing inferred dynamics in evolutionary accumulation models (EvAMs). These models involve the acquisition of multiple, potentially codepen…

A structural causal framework for interventions on evolutionary accumulation models

Ramon Diaz-Uriarte, Íñigo Ríos-Arroyo, Iain G. Johnston

Evolutionary accumulation models (EvAMs), also known as cancer progression models (CPMs), infer dependencies in the order of accumulation of mutations during tumor progression from…

Extracting useful information about reversible evolutionary processes from irreversible evolutionary accumulation models

Iain G. Johnston

Evolutionary accumulation models (EvAMs) are an emerging class of machine learning methods designed to infer the evolutionary pathways by which features are acquired. Applications…

An Algebraic Approach to Evolutionary Accumulation Models

Jessica Renz, Frederik Witt, Iain G. Johnston

We present an algebraic approach to evolutionary accumulation modelling (EvAM). EvAM is concerned with learning and predicting the order in which evolutionary features accumulate o…

Flexible inference of evolutionary accumulation dynamics using uncertain observational data

Jessica Renz, Morten Brun, Iain G. Johnston

Understanding and predicting evolutionary accumulation pathways is a key objective in many fields of research, ranging from classical evolutionary biology to diverse applications i…

Evolutionary accumulation modelling in AMR: machine learning to infer and predict evolutionary dynamics of multi-drug resistance

Jessica Renz, Kazeem A. Dauda, Olav N. L. Aga +4

Can we understand and predict the evolutionary pathways by which bacteria acquire multi-drug resistance (MDR)? These questions have substantial potential impact in basic biology an…

A picture guide to cancer progression and monotonic accumulation models: evolutionary assumptions, plausible interpretations, and alternative uses

Ramon Diaz-Uriarte, Iain G. Johnston

Cancer progression and monotonic accumulation models were developed to discover dependencies in the irreversible acquisition of binary traits from cross-sectional data. They have b…
