Phase field approach for modeling intracellular dynamics
Julien Kockelkoren, Herbert Levine, Wouter-Jan Rappel
We introduce a phase field approach for diffusion inside and outside a closed cell with damping and with source terms at the interface. The method is compared to exact solutions (w…
Analytical study of the effect of recombination on evolution via DNA shuffling
Weiqun Peng, Herbert Levine, Terence Hwa +1
We investigate a multi-locus evolutionary model which is based on the DNA shuffling protocol widely applied in \textit{in vitro} directed evolution. This model incorporates selecti…
Wave nucleation rate in excitable systems in the low noise limit
Herve Henry, Herbert Levine
Motivated by recent experiments on intracellular calcium dynamics, we study the general issue of fluctuation-induced nucleation of waves in excitable media. We utilize a stochastic…
