In this Letter, we extend the semiconservative quasispecies equations to incorporate imperfect DNA lesion repair. We study the equilibrium behavior of this model in the limit of infinite sequence length and population size, using a…

Species evolution is essentially a random process of interaction between biological populations and their environments. As a result, some physical parameters in evolution models are subject to statistical fluctuations. In this paper, two…

In this review some simple models of asexual populations evolving on smooth landscapes are studied. The basic model is based on a cellular automaton, which is analyzed here in the spatial mean-field limit. Firstly, the evolution on a fixed…

We pursue the task of developing a finite population counterpart to Eigen's model. We consider the classical Wright-Fisher model describing the evolution of a population of size $m$ of chromosomes of length $\ell$ over an alphabet of…

Quasispecies theory provides the conceptual and theoretical bases for describing the dynamics of biological information of replicators subject to large mutation rates. This theory, initially conceived within the framework of prebiotic…

The goal of this work is to propose a finite population counterpart to Eigen's model, which incorporates stochastic effects. We consider a Moran model describing the evolution of a population of size $m$ of chromosomes of length $\ell$ over…

We investigate the error threshold for the emergence of quasispecies in the Eigen model. By mapping to to an effective Hamiltonian ruled by the "imaginary-time" Schr\"odinger equation, a variational ansatz is proposed and applied to…

Eigen's quasispecies system with explicit space and global regulation is considered. Limit behavior and stability of the system in a functional space under perturbations of a diffusion matrix with nonnegative spectrum are investigated. It…

In this research, we present a generalized quasispecies model in which population growth is governed by an arbitrary nonlinear function incorporating time delays. We begin by demonstrating that, under the constant population constraint, the…

The stochastic Eigen model proposed by Feng et al. (Journal of theoretical biology, 246 (2007) 28) showed that error threshold is no longer a phase transition point but a crossover region whose width depends on the strength of the random…

In this article we present a new p-adic generalization of the Eigen-Schuster model where the genomes (sequences) are represented by words written in the alphabet 0,1,,p-1, where p is a prime number, with a time variable length. The time…

We show that in the limit where the number of spacetime dimensions D grows to infinity a very large class of black holes (including non-extremal, static, asymptotically flat ones, with any number of gauge-field charges, possibly coupled to…

We review the major progress in the rigorous analysis of the classical quasispecies model that usually comes in two related but different forms: the Eigen model and the Crow--Kimura model. The model itself was formulated almost 50 years…

We establish that the phase transition for infinite cycles in the random stirring model on an infinite regular tree of high degree is sharp. That is, we prove that there exists d_0 such that, for any d \geq d_0, the set of parameter values…

The error threshold transition in a stochastic (i.e. finite population) version of the quasispecies model of molecular evolution is studied using finite-size scaling. For the single-sharp-peak replication landscape, the deterministic model…

We present stochastic, finite-population formulations of the Crow-Kimura and Eigen models of quasispecies theory, for fitness functions that depend in an arbitrary way on the number of mutations from the wild type. We include back mutations…

We explore some aspects of the relationship between biological evolution processes and the mathematical theory of records. For Eigen's quasispecies model with an uncorrelated fitness landscape, we show that the evolutionary trajectories…

Viruses present an amazing genetic variability. An ensemble of infecting viruses, also called a viral quasispecies, is a cloud of mutants centered around a specific genotype. The simplest model of evolution, whose equilibrium state is…

Nongradient SDEs with small white noise often arise when modeling biological and ecological time-irreversible processes. If the governing SDE were gradient, the maximum likelihood transition paths, transition rates, expected exit times, and…

This paper develops a formulation of the quasispecies equations appropriate for polysomic, semiconservatively replicating genomes. This paper is an extension of previous work on the subject, which considered the case of haploid genomes.…
