... Because the same numbers of bacteria were streaked on each plate, we would have expected to see roughly the same number of resistant colonies on all of the plates. The number of resistant colonies would not have depended on the timing of the mutation. In contrast, what was actually observed was quit ...

Simulating Population Genetics
... • Relax the assumption that all alleles are equally fit. Choose one of your alleles to be lethal recessive; that is, if the a allele is lethal recessive, aa mice die at birth but Aa and AA mice don’t. How does this change the equilibrium? Can any starting conditions change the final equilibrium? In ...

Epistasis
Epistasis is a phenomenon that consists of the effect of one gene being dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes' (genetic background). Similarly, epistatic mutations have different effects in combination than individually. It was originally a concept from genetics but is now used in biochemistry, population genetics, computational biology and evolutionary biology. It arises due to interactions, either between genes, or within them leading to non-additive effects. Epistasis has a large influence on the shape of evolutionary landscapes which leads to profound consequences for evolution and evolvability of traits.
