Finite genome size can halt Muller's ratchet
Tor Schoenmeyr, Claus O. Wilke
We study the accumulation of deleterious mutations in a haploid, asexually reproducing population, using analytical models and computer simulations. We find that Muller's ratchet c…
Optimal adaptive performance and delocalization in NK fitness landscapes
Paulo R. A. Campos, Christoph Adami, Claus O. Wilke
We investigate the evolutionary dynamics of a finite population of sequences adapting to NK fitness landscapes. We find that, unlike in the case of an infinite population, the aver…
Maternal effects in molecular evolution
Claus O. Wilke
We introduce a model of molecular evolution in which the fitness of an individual depends both on its own and on the parent's genotype. The model can be solved by means of a nonlin…
Selection for Fitness vs. Selection for Robustness in RNA Secondary Structure Folding
Claus O. Wilke
We investigate the competition between two quasispecies residing on two disparate neutral networks. Under the assumption that the two neutral networks have different topologies and…
Adaptive evolution on neutral networks
Claus O. Wilke
We study the evolution of large but finite asexual populations evolving in fitness landscapes in which all mutations are either neutral or strongly deleterious. We demonstrate that…
