A comparison of sexual and asexual replication strategies in a simplified model based on the yeast life cycle
Emmanuel Tannenbaum
This paper develops simplified mathematical models describing the mutation-selection balance for the asexual and sexual replication pathways in {\it Saccharomyces cerevisiae}. We a…
Selective advantage for sexual reproduction with random haploid fusion
Emmanuel Tannenbaum
This paper develops a simplified set of models describing asexual and sexual replication in unicel- lular diploid organisms. The models assume organisms whose genomes consist of tw…
A comparison of three replication strategies in complex multicellular organisms: Asexual replication, sexual replication with identical gametes, and sexual replication with distinct sperm and egg gametes
Emmanuel Tannenbaum
This paper studies the mutation-selection balance in three simplified replication models. The first model considers a population of organisms replicating via the production of asex…
The influence of horizontal gene transfer on the mean fitness of unicellular populations in static environments
Yoav Raz, Emmanuel Tannenbaum
This paper develops a mathematical model describing the influence that conjugation-mediated Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) has on the mutation-selection balance in an asexually rep…
Associative learning in biochemical networks
Nikhil Ghandi, Gonen Ashkenasy, Emmanuel Tannenbaum
We develop a simple, chemostat-based model illustrating how a process analogous to associative learning can occur in a biochemical network. Associative learning is a form of learni…
Speculations on the emergence of self-awareness in big-brained organisms
Emmanuel Tannenbaum
This paper argues that self-awareness is a learned behavior that emerges in organisms whose brains have a sufficiently integrated, complex ability for associative learning and memo…
