无性进化的行波方法:穆勒棘轮和适应速度

The traveling wave approach to asexual evolution: Muller's ratchet and speed of adaptation

Igor M. Rouzine, Eric Brunet, Claus O. Wilke

摘要:

我们使用行波理论推导出表达式的累积率的有害突变下穆勒的棘轮和适应的速度下,在无性群体的积极选择。行波理论是一个半确定性的描述一个不断发展的人口,其中大部分人口建模使用确定性方程,但类的最高适应度基因型,其随时间的演变决定的损失或增益的适应度在人口中,给予适当的随机处理。我们推导出改进的方法来模拟最高的健身类(随机边缘)的穆勒棘轮和适应性进化,并计算分析校正项,补偿不准确时出现的离散健身类作为一个连续体。我们表明,行波理论的突变累积率的情况下,穆勒的棘轮作出了很好的预测,并在一个非常广泛的参数范围内的适应速度作出了很好的预测。我们预测适应率随种群规模的增长而增长,直到种群规模非常大。

英文摘要:

We use traveling-wave theory to derive expressions for the rate of accumulation of deleterious mutations under Muller's ratchet and the speed of adaptation under positive selection in asexual populations. Traveling-wave theory is a semi-deterministic description of an evolving population, where the bulk of the population is modeled using deterministic equations, but the class of the highest-fitness genotypes, whose evolution over time determines loss or gain of fitness in the population, is given proper stochastic treatment. We derive improved methods to model the highest-fitness class (the stochastic edge) for both Muller's ratchet and adaptive evolution, and calculate analytic correction terms that compensate for inaccuracies which arise when treating discrete fitness classes as a continuum. We show that traveling wave theory makes excellent predictions for the rate of mutation accumulation in the case of Muller's ratchet, and makes good predictions for the speed of adaptation in a very broad parameter range. We predict the adaptation rate to grow logarithmically in the population size until the population size is extremely large.
