Variational auto-encoding of protein sequences

2 code implementations9 Dec 2017 Sam Sinai, Eric Kelsic, George M. Church, Martin A. Nowak

Here we present an embedding of natural protein sequences using a Variational Auto-Encoder and use it to predict how mutations affect protein function.

Faster Monte-Carlo Algorithms for Fixation Probability of the Moran Process on Undirected Graphs

no code implementations21 Jun 2017 Krishnendu Chatterjee, Rasmus Ibsen-Jensen, Martin A. Nowak

We present faster polynomial-time Monte-Carlo algorithms for finidng the fixation probability on undirected graphs.

Primordial Sex Facilitates the Emergence of Evolution

no code implementations2 Dec 2016 Sam Sinai, Jason Olejarz, Iulia A. Neagu, Martin A. Nowak

Compartments are ubiquitous throughout biology, yet their importance stretches back to the origin of cells.

Natural selection of mutants that modify population structure

no code implementations21 Nov 2021 Josef Tkadlec, Kamran Kaveh, Krishnendu Chatterjee, Martin A. Nowak

Finally, we show that for low-dimensional lattices, the effect of altered motility is comparable to that of altered fitness: in the limit of large population size, the invader's fixation probability is either constant or exponentially small, depending on whether it is more or less motile than the resident.

Mutation enhances cooperation in direct reciprocity

no code implementations12 Apr 2023 Josef Tkadlec, Christian Hilbe, Martin A. Nowak

But high levels of cooperation evolve only if the benefit-to-cost ratio exceeds a certain threshold that depends on memory length.

Fixation times on directed graphs

no code implementations5 Aug 2023 David A. Brewster, Martin A. Nowak, Josef Tkadlec

Third, we identify a broad class of directed graphs with fast fixation times for any $r\ge 1$.
