A generative model for bipartite gene-sharing networks
Jaime Iranzo, Pedro Jódar, Eugene V. Koonin +2
Gene-sharing networks provide a powerful framework to study the evolution of viruses and mobile genetic elements. These bipartite networks, which link genes to the genomes that con…
Beyond the Central Limit: Universality of the Gamma Distribution from Padé-Enhanced Large Deviations
Mario Castro, José A. Cuesta
The central limit theorem provides the theoretical foundation for the universality of the normal distribution: under broad conditions, the asymptotic distribution of a sum of indep…
Scarce Data, Noisy Inferences, and Overfitting: The Hidden Flaws in Ecological Dynamics Modelling
Mario Castro, Rafael Vida, Javier Galeano +1
Metagenomic data has significantly advanced microbiome research by employing ecological models, particularly in personalised medicine. The generalised Lotka-Volterra (gLV) model is…
Non-equilibrium microbial dynamics unveil a new macroecological pattern beyond Taylor's law
José Camacho-Mateu, Aniello Lampo, Saúl Ares +1
We introduce a comprehensive analytical benchmark, relying on Fokker-Planck formalism, to study microbial dynamics in presence of both biotic and abiotic forces. In equilibrium, we…
