Patterns of neutral diversity under general models of selective sweeps
Graham Coop, Peter Ralph
Two major sources of stochasticity in the dynamics of neutral alleles result from resampling of finite populations (genetic drift) and the random genetic background of nearby selec…
Is your phylogeny informative? Measuring the power of comparative methods
Carl Boettiger, Graham Coop, Peter Ralph
Phylogenetic comparative methods may fail to produce meaningful results when either the underlying model is inappropriate or the data contain insufficient information to inform the…
Stochastic population growth in spatially heterogeneous environments
Steven N. Evans, Peter L. Ralph, Sebastian J. Schreiber +1
Classical ecological theory predicts that environmental stochasticity increases extinction risk by reducing the average per-capita growth rate of populations. To understand the int…
Transcriptional regulation: Effects of promoter proximal pausing on speed, synchrony and reliability
Alistair N. Boettiger, Peter L. Ralph, Steven N. Evans
Recent whole genome polymerase binding assays have shown that a large proportion of unexpressed genes have pre-assembled RNA pol II transcription initiation complex stably bound to…
