The critical mutation rate (CMR) determines the shift between survival-of-the-fittest and survival of individuals with greater mutational robustness (“flattest”). We identify an inverse relationship between CMR and sequence length in an in silico sys...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) enables segments of DNA to be transferred between individuals in a population in addition to from parent to child. It is a prominent process in bacterial reproduction. Existing in silico models have succeeded in predict... Read More about Critical Mutation Rate in a Population with Horizontal Gene Transfer.

Spontaneous mutation rate is a plastic trait associated with population density across domains of life. (2017)
Journal Article
Aston, E., McBain, A., Knight, C., Krašovec, R., Richards, H., Hatcher, C., …Gifford, D. (2017). Spontaneous mutation rate is a plastic trait associated with population density across domains of life. PLoS Biology, e2002731 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.2002731

Rates of random, spontaneous mutation can vary plastically, dependent upon the environment. Such plasticity affects evolutionary trajectories and may be adaptive. We recently identified an inverse plastic association between mutation rate and populat...
