Salerno's model of DNA reanalysed: could solitons have biological significance?
J. D. Bashford
We investigate the sequence-dependent behaviour of localised excitations in a toy, nonlinear model of DNA base-pair opening originally proposed by Salerno. Specifically we ask whet…
A base pairing model of duplex formation I: Watson-Crick pairing geometries
J. D. Bashford, P. D. Jarvis
We present a base-pairing model of oligonuleotide duplex formation and show in detail its equivalence to the Nearest-Neighbour dimer methods from fits to free energy of duplex form…
Path integral formulation and Feynman rules for phylogenetic branching models
P. D. Jarvis, J. D. Bashford, J. G. Sumner
A dynamical picture of phylogenetic evolution is given in terms of Markov models on a state space, comprising joint probability distributions for character types of taxonomic class…
On the Standard Model and Strongly-Correlated Electron Systems
J. D. Bashford
Higlighting certain similarities between the two-dimensional Luttinger liquid model and the effective fermionic theory obtained from the hypercharge Lagrangian, we argue the case f…
On a Dynamical Origin for Fermion Generations
J. D. Bashford
We investigate a proposal to address several outstanding shortcomings of the perturbative Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. The appeal of this proposal is that these feature…
Quantum Field Theory and Phylogenetic Branching
P. D. Jarvis, J. D. Bashford
A calculational framework is proposed for phylogenetics, using nonlocal quantum field theories in hypercubic geometry. Quadratic terms in the Hamiltonian give the underlying Markov…
