上位性景观上进化的可重复性

Repeatability of evolution on epistatic landscapes

Benedikt Bauer, Chaitanya S. Gokhale

摘要:

进化是一个动态的过程。进化的两种经典力量是突变和选择。假设小的突变率,进化可以仅仅根据表型之间的适应性差异来预测。在不同的突变率以及不同的适应度下预测进化过程仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。然而,实验过程确实包括这些复杂性以及波动的种群大小和随机事件,如灭绝。我们调查的突变路径概率的系统具有上位效应的健身和突变率使用的理论和计算框架。与以前的模型相比,我们不局限于典型的强选择,弱突变(SSWM)制度或固定的人口规模。相反,我们允许上位相互作用也影响突变率。这可能导致定性的非平凡动力学。在SSWM体系中可以忽略不计的路径可以克服健身谷并变得可访问。这一发现有可能扩展基于SSWM基础的传统预测,并使我们更接近实验系统中观察到的结果。

英文摘要:

Evolution is a dynamic process. The two classical forces of evolution are mutation and selection. Assuming small mutation rates, evolution can be predicted based solely on the fitness differences between phenotypes. Predicting an evolutionary process under varying mutation rates as well as varying fitness is still an open question. Experimental procedures, however, do include these complexities along with fluctuating population sizes and stochastic events such as extinctions. We investigate the mutational path probabilities of systems having epistatic effects on both fitness and mutation rates using a theoretical and computational framework. In contrast to previous models, we do not limit ourselves to the typical strong selection, weak mutation (SSWM)-regime or to fixed population sizes. Rather we allow epistatic interactions to also affect mutation rates. This can lead to qualitatively non-trivial dynamics. Pathways, that are negligible in the SSWM-regime, can overcome fitness valleys and become accessible. This finding has the potential to extend the traditional predictions based on the SSWM foundation and bring us closer to what is observed in experimental systems.
