Genomic mutation rates that neutralize adaptive evolution and natural selection
Genomic mutation rates that neutralize adaptive evolution and natural selection is a scholarly work by Philip Gerrish and Alexandre Colato, published in 2013 in ''Journal of the Royal Society Interface''. The main subjects of the publication include adaptive evolution, selection (genetic algorithm), mutation, genetics, adaptation, evolutionary biology, ocular adaptation, evolution of ageing, epidemiological modeling, adaptive mutation, population genetics, biology, evolutionary dynamics, mutation rate, and natural selection. The authors apply these two criteria to a standard model of asexual adaptive evolution and derive mathematical expressions—some new, some old in new guise—delineating the mutation rates under which either adaptive evolution or natural selection is neutralized.
