Physically interacting proteins or parts of proteins are expected to evolve in a coordinated manner that preserves proper interactions. Such coevolution at the amino acid-sequence level is well ...
Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites, the reciprocal evolution of host resistance and parasite infectivity, has important implications in ecology and evolution. The dynamics of ...
This example explores cooperative coevolution using DEAP. This tutorial is not as complete as previous examples concerning type creation and other basic stuff. Instead, we cover the concepts of ...
The ability of proteins to perform myriad biochemical functions with exquisite precision stems from their highly elaborate three-dimensional structures. The evolution of protein function, therefore, ...
It is common to find considerable genetic variation in susceptibility to infection in natural populations. We have investigated whether natural selection increases this variation by testing whether ...
It has been more than 100 years since Robert Koch established that infectious diseases are caused by microbes. Now, numerous studies have shown that symbiotic or pathogenic microbes result in host ...
Jacob Steenwyk, a graduate student in biological sciences, and collaborators at Vanderbilt, Tel Aviv University and University of Wisconsin-Madison measured the coevolution of pairs of genes shared ...
