Selection-recombination-mutation dynamics: Gradient, limit cycle, and closed invariant curve
In this paper, the replicator dynamics of the two-locus two-allele system under weak mutation and weak selection is investigated in a generation-wise non-overlapping unstructured population of individuals mating at random. Our main finding is that the dynamics is gradient-like when the point mutations at the two loci are independent. This is in stark contrast to the case of one-locus multi-allele where the existence gradient behaviour is contingent on a specific relationship between the mutation rates. When the mutations are not independent in the two-locus two-allele system, there is the possibility of non-convergent outcomes, like asymptotically stable oscillations, through either the Hopf bifurcation or the Neimark--Sacker bifurcation depending on the strength of the weak selection. The results can be straightforwardly extended for multi-locus two-allele systems.

Inferring epistasis from genomic data with comparable mutation and outcrossing rate
We consider a population evolving due to mutation, selection and recombination, where selection includes single-locus terms (additive fitness) and two-loci terms (pairwise epistatic fitness). We further consider the prob…
validEffect of drift, selection and recombination on the equilibrium frequency of deleterious mutations
We study the stationary state of a population evolving under the action of random genetic drift, selection and recombination in which both deleterious and reverse beneficial mutations can occur. We find that the equilibr…
Combining mutation and recombination statistics to infer clonal families in antibody repertoires
B-cell repertoires are characterized by a diverse set of receptors of distinct specificities generated through two processes of somatic diversification: V(D)J recombination and somatic hypermutations. B cell clonal famil…

Recombination and mutational robustness in neutral fitness landscapes
Mutational robustness quantifies the effect of random mutations on fitness. When mutational robustness is high, most mutations do not change fitness or have only a minor effect on it. From the point of view of fitness la…
