The role of weak selection and high mutation rates in nearly neutral evolution
The role of weak selection and high mutation rates in nearly neutral evolution is a scholarly work by Daniel J. Lawson, published in 2009 in ''Journal of Theoretical Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include neutral theory of molecular evolution, mutation rate, neutral mutation, mutation, statistical physics, Null model, evolutionary biology, epidemiological modeling, The Evolution of Cooperation, genetic drift, selection (genetic algorithm), effective population size, population, Neutral network, evolutionary dynamics, and biology. The authors show that this has important consequences for the occurrence of neutral evolution in clonal populations.
