Survival of the simplest: the cost of complexity in microbial evolution
Torsten Held, Daniel Klemmer, Michael Lässig
The evolution of microbial and viral organisms often generates clonal interference, a mode of competition between genetic clades within a population. In this paper, we show that in…
Pervasive adaptation of gene expression in Drosophila
Armita Nourmohammad, Joachim Rambeau, Torsten Held +2
Gene expression levels are important molecular quantitative traits that link genotypes to molecular functions and fitness. In Drosophila, population-genetic studies in recent years…
Adaptive evolution of molecular phenotypes
Torsten Held, Armita Nourmohammad, Michael Lässig
Molecular phenotypes link genomic information with organismic functions, fitness, and evolution. Quantitative traits are complex phenotypes that depend on multiple genomic loci. In…
Universality and predictability in molecular quantitative genetics
Armita Nourmohammad, Torsten Held, Michael Lässig
Molecular traits, such as gene expression levels or protein binding affinities, are increasingly accessible to quantitative measurement by modern high-throughput techniques. Such t…
