Fitness Inference in Presence of Migrations between Coupled Evolving Populations

Yu-Han Huang, Bastien Dumont, Hong-Li Zeng +2

The phase of Quasi-Linkage Equilibrium (QLE) in evolutionary populations is analogous to the thermal equilibrium state in statistical mechanics, a concept pioneered by Kimura in 19…

Classification of SARS-CoV-2 Variants through The Epistatical Circos Plots with Convolutional Neural Networks

Bo Jing, Kai-Rui Zhang, Hong-Li Zeng +1

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected global health, driven by the remarkable transmissibility and mutational adaptability of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Although five variants o…

Fitness inference tested by in silico population genetics

Hong-Li Zeng, Yu-Han Huang, John Barton +1

We consider populations evolving according to natural selection, mutation, and recombination, and assume that the genomes of all or a representative selection of individuals are kn…

Average entanglement entropy of a small subsystem in a constrained pure Gaussian state ensemble

Erik Aurell, Lucas Hackl, Mario Kieburg

We consider ensembles of pure Gaussian states parametrized by single-mode marginals and (optionally) specific mode-mode correlations. Such ensembles provide a model for the final s…

The curious case of operators with spectral density increasing as

Erik Aurell, Satya N. Majumdar

Motivated by a putative model of black holes as quantum objects we consider what types of operators would have a corresponding spectrum. We find that there are indeed such operator…

Two fitness inference schemes compared using allele frequencies from 1,068,391 sequences sampled in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic

Hong-Li Zeng, Cheng-Long Yang, Bo Jing +2

Throughout the course of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, genetic variation has contributed to the spread and persistence of the virus. For example, various mutations have allowed SARS-CoV…

Random pure Gaussian states and Hawking radiation

Erik Aurell, Lucas Hackl, Paweł Horodecki +2

A black hole evaporates by Hawking radiation. Each mode of that radiation is thermal. If the total state is nevertheless to be pure, modes must be entangled. Estimating the minimum…

Global analysis of more than 50,000 SARS-Cov-2 genomes reveals epistasis between 8 viral genes

Hong-Li Zeng, Vito Dichio, Edwin Rodríguez Horta +2

Genome-wide epistasis analysis is a powerful tool to infer gene interactions, which can guide drug and vaccine development and lead to a deeper understanding of microbial pathogene…

Quasi-potential landscape in complex multi-stable systems

Joseph Xu Zhou, M. D. S. Aliyu, Erik Aurell +1

Developmental dynamics of multicellular organism is a process that takes place in a multi-stable system in which each attractor state represents a cell type and attractor transitio…

Optimal protocols and optimal transport in stochastic thermodynamics

Erik Aurell, Carlos Mejia-Monasterio, Paolo Muratore-Ginanneschi

Thermodynamics of small systems has become an important field of statistical physics. They are driven out of equilibrium by a control, and the question is naturally posed how such…
