Hard and soft bounds in the evolution of Ubuntu packages. A lesson for species body masses?
Marco Gherardi, Salvatore Mandrà, Bruno Bassetti +1
Open-source software is a complex system; its development depends on the self-coordinated action of a large number of agents. This study follows the size of the building blocks, ca…
Influence of homology and node-age on the growth of protein-protein interaction networks
Arianna Bottinelli, Bruno Bassetti, Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino +1
Proteins participating in a protein-protein interaction network can be grouped into homology classes following their common ancestry. Proteins added to the network correspond to ge…
Physical descriptions of the bacterial nucleoid at large scales, and their biological implications
Vincenzo G. Benza, Bruno Bassetti, Kevin D. Dorfman +4
Recent experimental and theoretical approaches have attempted to quantify the physical organization (compaction and geometry) of the bacterial chromosome with its complement of pro…
DnaA and the timing of chromosome replication in Escherichia coli as a function of growth rate
Matthew A. A. Grant, Chiara Saggioro, Ulisse Ferrari +3
Background: In Escherichia coli, overlapping rounds of DNA replication allow the bacteria to double in faster times than the time required to copy the genome. The precise timing of…
Joint scaling laws in functional and evolutionary categories in prokaryotic genomes
Jacopo Grilli, Bruno Bassetti, Sergei Maslov +1
We propose and study a class-expansion/innovation/loss model of genome evolution taking into account biological roles of genes and their constituent domains. In our model numbers o…
Typical rank of coin-toss power-law random matrices over GF(2)
Salvatore Mandrà, Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino, Bruno Bassetti
Random linear systems over the Galois Field modulo 2 have an interest in connection with problems ranging from computational optimization to complex networks. They are often approa…
