This implies the operation of selective forces that confer an advantage to sexuality and genetic recombination, at either the population or individual level. The effect of sex and recombination in breaking down negative correlations between favorable variants at different genetic loci, which increases the efficiency of natural selection, is likely to be a major factor favoring their evolution and maintenance.

Among these is conjugation, the direct transfer of DNA from one cell to another. For Gram-negative bacteria, conjugation requires thin, flexible filaments (conjugative pili) that are elaborated by DNA donor cells. The structure, function, and especially the dynamics of conjugative pili are poorly understood. Here, we have applied live-cell imaging to characterize the dynamics of F-pili (conjugative pili encoded by the F plasmid of Escherichia coli). We establish that F-pili normally undergo cycles of extension and retraction in the absence of any obvious triggering event, such as contact with a recipient cell. When made, such contacts are able to survive the shear forces felt by bacteria in liquid media. Our data emphasize the role of F-pilus flexibility both in efficiently sampling a large volume surrounding donor cells in liquid culture and in establishing and maintaining cell–cell contact. Additionally and unexpectedly, we infer that extension and retraction are accompanied by rotation about the long axis of the filament.}, doi = {10.1073/pnas.0806786105}, eprint = {http://www.pnas.org/content/105/46/17978.full.pdf+html}, file = {:/Users/jakirkham/Documents/School/Emory/2012-2013/Summer 2013/Masters Thesis/Papers/Clarke, et al -- F-pili dynamics by live-cell imaging.pdf:PDF}, owner = {jakirkham}, timestamp = {2013.05.15}, url = {http://www.pnas.org/content/105/46/17978.abstract} } @ARTICLE{Cohan2002, author = {Cohan, Frederick M}, title = {What are bacterial species?}, journal = {Annual Reviews in Microbiology}, year = {2002}, volume = {56}, pages = {457--487}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1146/annurev.micro.56.012302.160634}, file = {:/Users/jakirkham/Documents/School/Emory/2012-2013/Summer 2013/Masters Thesis/Papers/Cohan -- What are Bacterial Species?.pdf:PDF}, owner = {jakirkham}, publisher = {Annual Reviews 4139 El Camino Way, PO Box 10139, Palo Alto, CA 94303-0139, USA}, timestamp = {2013.05.13}, url = {http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.micro.56.012302.160634} } @ARTICLE{Cohen2005, author = {Cohen, Elisheva and Kessler, David A. and Levine, Herbert}, title = {Recombination Dramatically Speeds Up Evolution of Finite Populations}, journal = {Phys.

Those authors whose models had finite-population effects found an advantage of recombination, and those whose models had infinite populations found none. The advantage of recombination is that it breaks down random linkage disequilibrium generated by genetic drift. Hill and Robertson found that the average effect of this randomly-generated linkage disequilibrium was to cause linked loci to interfere with each other's response to selection, even where there was no gene interaction between the loci. This effect is shown to be identical to the original argument of Fisher and Muller. It also predicts the "ratchet mechanism" discovered by Muller, who pointed out that deleterious mutants would more readily increase in a population without recombination. Computer simulations of substitution of favorable mutants and of the long-term increase of deleterious mutants verified the essential correctness of the original Fisher-Muller argument and the reality of the Muller ratchet mechanism. It is argued that these constitute an intrinsic advantage of recombination capable of accounting for its persistence in the face of selection for tighter linkage between interacting polymorphisms, and possibly capable of accounting for its origin.}, eprint = {http://www.genetics.org/content/78/2/737.full.pdf+html}, file = {:/Users/jakirkham/Documents/School/Emory/2012-2013/Summer 2013/Masters Thesis/Papers/Felsenstein -- The Evolutionary Advantage of Recombination.pdf:PDF}, owner = {jakirkham}, timestamp = {2013.08.13}, url = {http://www.genetics.org/content/78/2/737.abstract} } @ARTICLE{Fisher2013, author = {Daniel Fisher and Michael L\"{a}ssig and Boris Shraiman}, title = {Evolutionary dynamics and statistical physics}, journal = {Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment}, year = {2013}, volume = {2013}, pages = {N01001}, number = {01}, __markedentry = {[jakirkham:6]}, abstract = {This introductory article provides the background to and motivation for this special issue and the relationship between evolutionary dynamics and statistical physics.}, file = {:/Users/jakirkham/Documents/School/Emory/2012-2013/Summer 2013/Masters Thesis/Papers/Fisher, et al -- Evolutionary dynamics and statistical physics.pdf:PDF}, owner = {jakirkham}, timestamp = {2013.11.11}, url = {http://stacks.iop.org/1742-5468/2013/i=01/a=N01001} } @BOOK{fisher1999genetical, title = {The genetical theory of natural selection: a complete variorum edition}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, year = {1999}, author = {Fisher, Ronald Aylmer}, owner = {jakirkham}, timestamp = {2013.11.10} } @ARTICLE{Fontana1993, author = {Fontana, Walter and Stadler, Peter F. and Bornberg-Bauer, Erich G. and Griesmacher, Thomas and Hofacker, Ivo L. and Tacker, Manfred and Tarazona, Pedro and Weinberger, Edward D. and Schuster, Peter}, title = {RNA folding and combinatory landscapes}, journal = {Phys.

Taxonomists classify these organisms into species in much the same way as they classify eukaryotes, but differences in their biology--including horizontal gene transfer between distantly related taxa and variable rates of homologous recombination--mean that we still do not understand what a bacterial species is. This is not merely a semantic question; evolutionary theory should be able to explain why species exist at all levels of the tree of life, and we need to be able to define species for practical applications in industry, agriculture, and medicine. Recent studies have emphasized the need to combine genetic diversity and distinct ecology in an attempt to define species in a coherent and convincing fashion.

A review of the literature shows that the predictions of parasite coevolution fit well with the known ecology of sex.

Although sex is almost universal in higher animals and plants, its inherent costs have made its maintenance difficult to explain. The most famous of these is the twofold cost of males, which can greatly reduce the fecundity of a sexual population, compared to a population of asexual females. Over the past century, multiple hypotheses, along with experimental evidence to support these, have been put forward to explain widespread costly sex. In this review, we outline some of the most prominent theories, along with the experimental and observational evidence supporting these. Historically, there have been 4 classes of theories: the ability of sex to fix multiple novel advantageous mutants (Fisher–Muller hypothesis); sex as a mechanism to stop the build-up of deleterious mutations in finite populations (Muller's ratchet); recombination creating novel genotypes that can resist infection by parasites (Red Queen hypothesis); and the ability of sex to purge bad genomes if deleterious mutations act synergistically (mutational deterministic hypothesis). Current theoretical and experimental evidence seems to favor the hypothesis that sex breaks down selection interference between new mutants, or it acts as a mechanism to shuffle genotypes in order to repel parasitic invasion. However, there is still a need to collect more data from natural populations and experimental studies, which can be used to test different hypotheses.}, doi = {10.1111/j.1749-4877.2012.00284.x}, file = {:/Users/jakirkham/Documents/School/Emory/2012-2013/Summer 2013/Masters Thesis/Papers/Hartfield, Keightley -- Current hypotheses for the evolution of sex and recombination.pdf:PDF}, issn = {1749-4877}, keywords = {evolution of sex, fitness-associated sex, Hill–Robertson interference, mutational deterministic hypothesis, Red Queen hypothesis}, owner = {jakirkham}, publisher = {Blackwell Publishing Ltd}, timestamp = {2013.11.10}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1749-4877.2012.00284.x} } @ELECTRONIC{Heesch2013, author = {Dimitri van Heesch}, month = {August}, year = {2013}, title = {Doxygen}, language = {English}, howpublished = {Online}, address = {www.doxygen.org}, url = {www.doxygen.org}, owner = {jakirkham}, timestamp = {2013.09.26} } @ARTICLE{Higgs1995, author = {Higgs, PaulG. and Woodcock, Glenn}, title = {The accumulation of mutations in asexual populations and the structure of genealogical trees in the presence of selection}, journal = {Journal of Mathematical Biology}, year = {1995}, volume = {33}, pages = {677-702}, number = {7}, doi = {10.1007/BF00184644}, file = {:/Users/jakirkham/Documents/School/Emory/2012-2013/Summer 2013/Masters Thesis/Papers/Higgs and Woodcock -- The accumulation of mutations in asexual populations and the structure of genealogical trees in the presence of selection.pdf:PDF}, issn = {0303-6812}, keywords = {Muller's ratchet; Neutral evolution; Mutation-selection balance; Genealogical trees}, language = {English}, owner = {jakirkham}, publisher = {Springer-Verlag}, timestamp = {2013.10.09}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF00184644} } @ARTICLE{Hill1966, author = {Hill,W.

It is therefore of interest to look for generic ways, compatible with natural conditions, in which evolution in simulations can be speeded. Here, we study the impact of temporally varying goals on the speed of evolution, defined as the number of generations needed for an initially random population to achieve a given goal. Using computer simulations, we find that evolution toward goals that change over time can, in certain cases, dramatically speed up evolution compared with evolution toward a fixed goal. The highest speedup is found under modularly varying goals, in which goals change over time such that each new goal shares some of the subproblems with the previous goal. The speedup increases with the complexity of the goal: the harder the problem, the larger the speedup. Modularly varying goals seem to push populations away from local fitness maxima, and guide them toward evolvable and modular solutions. This study suggests that varying environments might significantly contribute to the speed of natural evolution.

However, several authors have recently presented experiments suggesting that bacteria may have mechanisms for directing which mutations occur, such that the rate of adaptive mutations is enhanced. Before the hypothesis of directed mutation is accepted, it is imperative to consider alternative hypotheses that might account for the same observations. To this end, we expand upon existing mathematical theory of the dynamics of mutation and selection in clonal populations for two cases of particular interest. The first case concerns selection against mutants before plating; this selection occurs as the result of differences in growth rate between mutants and nonmutants. We demonstrate that this selection model gives rise to distributions of mutants, obtained by plating from sister cultures, that are very similar to those expected when some mutations are induced by the selective environment. The second case concerns the sequential incorporation of two mutations as the result of selection for an intermediate genotype after plating. We demonstrate that this two-step mutation model also yields distributions that are similar to those expected when some mutations are induced by the selective environment. These two cases therefore provide alternatives to the hypothesis of directed mutation. We suggest experiments that might be used to examine our alternative hypotheses. We also contrast the hypothesis of directed mutation with the notion of inheritance of acquired characteristics.}, eprint = {http://www.pnas.org/content/86/8/2775.full.pdf+html}, file = {:/Users/jakirkham/Documents/School/Emory/2012-2013/Summer 2013/Masters Thesis/Papers/Lenski, et al -- Mutation and selection in bacterial populations- alternatives to the hypothesis of directed mutation.pdf:PDF}, owner = {jakirkham}, timestamp = {2013.11.09}, url = {http://www.pnas.org/content/86/8/2775.abstract} } @ARTICLE{Leuthaeusser1987, author = {Leuthäusser, Ira}, title = {Statistical mechanics of Eigen's evolution model}, journal = {Journal of Statistical Physics}, year = {1987}, volume = {48}, pages = {343-360}, number = {1-2}, doi = {10.1007/BF01010413}, file = {:/Users/jakirkham/Documents/School/Emory/2012-2013/Summer 2013/Masters Thesis/Papers/Leuthausser -- Statistical mechanics of Eigen's evolution model.pdf:PDF}, issn = {0022-4715}, keywords = {Macromolecular evolution; inhomogeneous; random Ising systems; replication number landscape; error threshold; quasispecies}, language = {English}, owner = {jakirkham}, publisher = {Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers}, timestamp = {2013.10.08}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF01010413} } @ARTICLE{Levin2000, author = {Levin, Bruce R. and Bergstrom, Carl T.}, title = {Bacteria are different: Observations, interpretations, speculations, and opinions about the mechanisms of adaptive evolution in prokaryotes}, journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences}, year = {2000}, volume = {97}, pages = {6981-6985}, number = {13}, abstract = {To some extent, the genetic theory of adaptive evolution in bacteria is a simple extension of that developed for sexually reproducing eukaryotes.

To ascertain the conditions under which this compensatory evolution, rather than reversion, will occur, we did computer simulations, in vitro experiments, and DNA sequencing studies with low-fitness rpsL (streptomycin-resistant) mutants of E. coli with and without mutations that compensate for the fitness costs of these ribosomal protein mutations.

How is the stochastic evolution of molecular biological systems shaped by natural selection? Here, we derive a theorem on the fitness flux in a population, defined as the selective effect of its genotype frequency changes. The fitness-flux theorem generalizes Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection to evolutionary processes including mutations, genetic drift, and time-dependent selection. It shows that a generic state of populations is adaptive evolution: there is a positive fitness flux resulting from a surplus of beneficial over deleterious changes. In particular, stationary nonequilibrium evolution processes are predicted to be adaptive. Under specific nonstationary conditions, notably during a decrease in population size, the average fitness flux can become negative. We show that these predictions are in accordance with experiments in bacteria and bacteriophages and with genomic data in Drosophila.

With positive recombination, the polymorphism is stably maintained at both loci. After an initial transient phase, the dynamics are reduced to one dimension, and are analyzed for weak selection limit, strong selection limit, and selection with two state Markovian jump. Results are: (1) If the environmental fluctuation has a predominant periodic component, ropt is approximately inversely proportional to the period irrespective of selection intensity. (2) If the fluctuation is a superposition of many periodic components, the one with the longest period is the most effective in determining ropt because the genetic dynamics cannot track very quick fluctuations (low pass filter effect). (3) If the power spectrum density is decreasing with the frequency, as in pink, or 1/f noises, ropt is small when selection is weak, and increases with the selection intensity. Numerical calculation of the genetic dynamics of a recombination modifier supports all these predictions for the evolutionarily stable recombination rate.

This paper summarizes the results from both areas and compares their implications. In evolutionary computer science it was found that the Darwinian process of mutation, recombination and selection is not universally effective in improving complex systems like computer programs or chip designs. For adaptation to occur, these systems must possess "evolvability," i.e., the ability of random variations to sometimes produce improvement. It was found that evolvability critically depends on the way genetic variation maps onto phenotypic variation, an issue known as the representation problem. The genotype-phenotype map determines the variability of characters, which is the propensity to vary Variability needs to be distinguished from variations, which are the actually realized differences between individuals. The genotype-phenotype map is the common theme underlying such varied biological phenomena as genetic canalization, developmental constraints, biological versatility, developmental dissociability, and morphological integration. For evolutionary biology the representation problem has important implications: how is it that extant species acquired a genotype-phenotype map which allows improvement by mutation and selection? Is the genotype-phenotype map able to change in evolution? What are the selective forces, if any, that shape the genotype-phenotype map? We propose that the genotype-phenotype map can evolve by two main routes: epistatic mutations, or the creation of new genes. A common result for organismic design is inodularity By modularity we mean a genotype-phenotype map in which there are few pleiotropic effects among characters serving different functions, with pleiotropic effects falling mainly among characters that are part of a single functional complex. Such a design is expected to improve evolvability by limiting the interference between the adaptation of different functions. Several population genetic models are reviewed that are intended to explain the evolutionary origin of a modular design. While our current knowledge is insufficient to assess the plausibility of these models, they form the beginning of a framework for understanding the evolution of the genotype-phenotype map.}, copyright = {Copyright © 1996 Society for the Study of Evolution}, file = {:/Users/jakirkham/Documents/School/Emory/2012-2013/Summer 2013/Masters Thesis/Papers/Wagner and Altenberg -- Perspective- Complex Adaptations and the Evolution of Evolvability.pdf:PDF}, issn = {00143820}, jstor_articletype = {research-article}, jstor_formatteddate = {Jun., 1996}, language = {English}, owner = {jakirkham}, publisher = {Society for the Study of Evolution}, timestamp = {2013.10.10}, url = {http://www.jstor.org/stable/2410639} } @ARTICLE{Wang2009, author = {Ying A.
