Opposing effects of final population density and stress on Escherichia coli mutation rate (2018)
Journal Article
Channon. (2018). Opposing effects of final population density and stress on Escherichia coli mutation rate. ISME Journal, 2981-2987. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41396-018-0237-3

Evolution depends on mutations. For an individual genotype, the rate at which mutations arise is known to increase with various stressors (stress-induced mutagenesis-SIM) and decrease at high final population density (density-associated mutation-rate...

Environmental pleiotropy and demographic history direct adaptation under antibiotic selection (2018)
Journal Article
Channon. (2018). Environmental pleiotropy and demographic history direct adaptation under antibiotic selection. Heredity, 438-448. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41437-018-0137-3

Evolutionary rescue following environmental change requires mutations permitting population growth in the new environment. If change is severe enough to prevent most of the population reproducing, rescue becomes reliant on mutations already present....

Evolving Robust, Deliberate Motion Planning With a Shallow Convolutional Neural Network (2018)
Journal Article
Channon. (2018). Evolving Robust, Deliberate Motion Planning With a Shallow Convolutional Neural Network. https://doi.org/10.1162/isal_a_00099

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets) have seen great success on machine learning tasks in recent years but have shown difficulty with tasks that require long-term deliberative planning. Whereas, purpose-built hybrid network architectures hav... Read More about Evolving Robust, Deliberate Motion Planning With a Shallow Convolutional Neural Network.
