利用适应动力学预测有益健身效应的分布

Exploiting the adaptation dynamics to predict the distribution of beneficial fitness effects

Sona John, Sarada Seetharaman

摘要:

无性种群的适应是由有益的突变驱动的,因此这个过程的动力学,除了其他因素外,取决于有益的健身效果的分布。已知在不相关的适应度景观上,这种分布只能是三种类型:截尾分布、指数分布和幂律分布。我们进行了广泛的随机模拟,以研究崎岖的适应度景观的适应动态,并确定了两个数量,可以用来区分潜在的分布有益的健身效果。这里研究的第一个量是在种群中传播的连续突变之间的适应性差异,发现在截断分布的情况下减少,对于指数衰减分布保持几乎恒定,并且当适应性分布以幂律衰减时增加。第二个感兴趣的量,即适应度随时间的变化率,对于不同的有益适应度分布,也表现出定量的不同行为。发现上述两个量所显示的模式对于低和高突变率都成立。我们将讨论如何利用这些模式来确定有益的健身效果在微生物实验中的分布。

英文摘要:

Adaptation of asexual populations is driven by beneficial mutations and therefore the dynamics of this process, besides other factors, depend on the distribution of beneficial fitness effects. It is known that on uncorrelated fitness landscapes, this distribution can only be of three types: truncated, exponential and power law. We performed extensive stochastic simulations to study the adaptation dynamics on rugged fitness landscapes, and identified two quantities that can be used to distinguish the underlying distribution of beneficial fitness effects. The first quantity studied here is the fitness difference between successive mutations that spread in the population, which is found to decrease in the case of truncated distributions, remain nearly a constant for exponentially decaying distributions and increase when the fitness distribution decays as a power law. The second quantity of interest, namely, the rate of change of fitness with time also shows quantitatively different behaviour for different beneficial fitness distributions. The patterns displayed by the two aforementioned quantities are found to hold for both low and high mutation rates. We discuss how these patterns can be exploited to determine the distribution of beneficial fitness effects in microbial experiments.
