Abstract: Background: A growing population of cells accumulates mutations. A single mutation early in the growth process carries forward to all descendant cells, causing the final population to have a lot of mutant cells. When the… read more here.

Abstract: To increase our basic understanding of the ecology and evolution of conjugative plasmids, we need reliable estimates of their rate of transfer between bacterial cells. Current assays to measure transfer rate are based on deterministic… read more here.

Abstract: The Luria–Delbrück mutation model is a cornerstone of evolution theory and has been mathematically formulated in a number of ways. In this paper, we illustrate how this model of mutation rates can be derived by… read more here.
