上位性对适应性无性种群中非突变子固定概率的作用
Role of epistasis on the fixation probability of a non-mutator in an adapted asexual population
摘要:
适应良好的群体的突变率倾向于降低,从而具有较低的突变负荷。我们的目标是了解在这个过程中的健身影响突变之间的上位相互作用的作用。利用多型分支过程,在一个大的无性突变体群体中出现一个单一的非突变体的固定概率解析计算这里。增变基因群体经历恒定的有害突变,但比非增变基因的速率高得多。我们发现,拮抗上位性降低了突变率降低的几率,而协同上位性则增强了突变率降低的几率,在上位性的临界值以下,固定概率表现为非单调地随背景群体突变率的变化而变化。此外,在附录中还讨论了上位性参数的临界值随突变子强度的变化。对于协同上位性,当选择是不同的,固定概率降低整体,阻尼振荡。
英文摘要:
The mutation rate of a well adapted population is prone to reduction so as to have a lower mutational load. We aim to understand the role of epistatic interactions between the fitness affecting mutations in this process. Using a multitype branching process, the fixation probability of a single non-mutator emerging in a large asexual mutator population is analytically calculated here. The mutator population undergoes deleterious mutations at constant, but at a much higher rate than that of the non-mutator. We find that antagonistic epistasis lowers the chances of mutation rate reduction, while synergistic epistasis enhances it. Below a critical value of epistasis, the fixation probability behaves non-monotonically with variation in mutation rate of the background population. Moreover, the variation of this critical value of the epistasis parameter with the strength of the mutator is discussed in the Appendix. For synergistic epistasis, when selection is varied, the fixation probability reduces overall, with damped oscillations.
