  text: The classical infinitesimal model is a simple and robust model for the inheritance
    of quantitative traits. In this model, a quantitative trait is expressed as the
    sum of a genetic and an environmental component, and the genetic component of
    offspring traits within a family follows a normal distribution around the average
    of the parents’ trait values, and has a variance that is independent of the parental
    traits. In previous work, we showed that when trait values are determined by the
    sum of a large number of additive Mendelian factors, each of small effect, one
    can justify the infinitesimal model as a limit of Mendelian inheritance. In this
    paper, we show that this result extends to include dominance. We define the model
    in terms of classical quantities of quantitative genetics, before justifying it
    as a limit of Mendelian inheritance as the number, M, of underlying loci tends
    to infinity. As in the additive case, the multivariate normal distribution of
    trait values across the pedigree can be expressed in terms of variance components
    in an ancestral population and probabilities of identity by descent determined
    by the pedigree. Now, with just first-order dominance effects, we require two-,
    three-, and four-way identities. We also show that, even if we condition on parental
    trait values, the “shared” and “residual” components of trait values within each
    family will be asymptotically normally distributed as the number of loci tends
    to infinity, with an error of order 1/M−−√⁠. We illustrate our results with some
    numerical examples.

  text: 'Selection accumulates information in the genome—it guides stochastically
    evolving populations toward states (genotype frequencies) that would be unlikely
    under neutrality. This can be quantified as the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence
    between the actual distribution of genotype frequencies and the corresponding
    neutral distribution. First, we show that this population-level information sets
    an upper bound on the information at the level of genotype and phenotype, limiting
    how precisely they can be specified by selection. Next, we study how the accumulation
    and maintenance of information is limited by the cost of selection, measured as
    the genetic load or the relative fitness variance, both of which we connect to
    the control-theoretic KL cost of control. The information accumulation rate is
    upper bounded by the population size times the cost of selection. This bound is
    very general, and applies across models (Wright–Fisher, Moran, diffusion) and
    to arbitrary forms of selection, mutation, and recombination. Finally, the cost
    of maintaining information depends on how it is encoded: Specifying a single allele
    out of two is expensive, but one bit encoded among many weakly specified loci
    (as in a polygenic trait) is cheap.'

  text: Antibiotic concentrations vary dramatically in the body and the environment.
    Hence, understanding the dynamics of resistance evolution along antibiotic concentration
    gradients is critical for predicting and slowing the emergence and spread of resistance.
    While it has been shown that increasing the concentration of an antibiotic slows
    resistance evolution, how adaptation to one antibiotic concentration correlates
    with fitness at other points along the gradient has not received much attention.
    Here, we selected populations of Escherichia coli at several points along a concentration
    gradient for three different antibiotics, asking how rapidly resistance evolved
    and whether populations became specialized to the antibiotic concentration they
    were selected on. Populations selected at higher concentrations evolved resistance
    more slowly but exhibited equal or higher fitness across the whole gradient. Populations
    selected at lower concentrations evolved resistance rapidly, but overall fitness
    in the presence of antibiotics was lower. However, these populations readily adapted
    to higher concentrations upon subsequent selection. Our results indicate that
    resistance management strategies must account not only for the rates of resistance
    evolution but also for the fitness of evolved strains.

  text: 'Pedigree and sibship reconstruction are important methods in quantifying
    relationships and fitness of individuals in natural populations. Current methods
    employ a Markov chain-based algorithm to explore plausible possible pedigrees
    iteratively. This provides accurate results, but is time-consuming. Here, we develop
    a method to infer sibship and paternity relationships from half-sibling arrays
    of known maternity using hierarchical clustering. Given 50 or more unlinked SNP
    markers and empirically derived error rates, the method performs as well as the
    widely used package Colony, but is faster by two orders of magnitude. Using simulations,
    we show that the method performs well across contrasting mating scenarios, even
    when samples are large. We then apply the method to open-pollinated arrays of
    the snapdragon Antirrhinum majus and find evidence for a high degree of multiple
    mating. Although we focus on diploid SNP data, the method does not depend on marker
    type and as such has broad applications in nonmodel systems. '

  text: 'Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetically based recognition system that
    functions to prevent self-fertilization and mating among related plants. An enduring
    puzzle in SI is how the high diversity observed in nature arises and is maintained.
    Based on the underlying recognition mechanism, SI can be classified into two main
    groups: self- and non-self recognition. Most work has focused on diversification
    within self-recognition systems despite expected differences between the two groups
    in the evolutionary pathways and outcomes of diversification. Here, we use a deterministic
    population genetic model and stochastic simulations to investigate how novel S-haplotypes
    evolve in a gametophytic non-self recognition (SRNase/S Locus F-box (SLF)) SI
    system. For this model the pathways for diversification involve either the maintenance
    or breakdown of SI and can vary in the order of mutations of the female (SRNase)
    and male (SLF) components. We show analytically that diversification can occur
    with high inbreeding depression and self-pollination, but this varies with evolutionary
    pathway and level of completeness (which determines the number of potential mating
    partners in the population), and in general is more likely for lower haplotype
    number. The conditions for diversification are broader in stochastic simulations
    of finite population size. However, the number of haplotypes observed under high
    inbreeding and moderate to high self-pollination is less than that commonly observed
    in nature. Diversification was observed through pathways that maintain SI as well
    as through self-compatible intermediates. Yet the lifespan of diversified haplotypes
    was sensitive to their level of completeness. By examining diversification in
    a non-self recognition SI system, this model extends our understanding of the
    evolution and maintenance of haplotype diversity observed in a self recognition
    system common in flowering plants.'

  text: "Maladapted individuals can only colonise a new habitat if they can evolve
    a\r\npositive growth rate fast enough to avoid extinction, a process known as
    evolutionary\r\nrescue. We treat log fitness at low density in the new habitat
    as a\r\nsingle polygenic trait and thus use the infinitesimal model to follow
    the evolution\r\nof the growth rate; this assumes that the trait values of offspring
    of a\r\nsexual union are normally distributed around the mean of the parents’
    trait\r\nvalues, with variance that depends only on the parents’ relatedness.
    The\r\nprobability that a single migrant can establish depends on just two parameters:\r\nthe
    mean and genetic variance of the trait in the source population.\r\nThe chance
    of success becomes small if migrants come from a population\r\nwith mean growth
    rate in the new habitat more than a few standard deviations\r\nbelow zero; this
    chance depends roughly equally on the probability\r\nthat the initial founder
    is unusually fit, and on the subsequent increase in\r\ngrowth rate of its offspring
    as a result of selection. The loss of genetic variation\r\nduring the founding
    event is substantial, but highly variable. With\r\ncontinued migration at rate
    M, establishment is inevitable; when migration\r\nis rare, the expected time to
    establishment decreases inversely with M.\r\nHowever, above a threshold migration
    rate, the population may be trapped\r\nin a ‘sink’ state, in which adaptation
    is held back by gene flow; above this\r\nthreshold, the expected time to establishment
    increases exponentially with M. This threshold behaviour is captured by a deterministic
    approximation,\r\nwhich assumes a Gaussian distribution of the trait in the founder
    population\r\nwith mean and variance evolving deterministically. By assuming a
    constant\r\ngenetic variance, we also develop a diffusion approximation for the
    joint distribution\r\nof population size and trait mean, which extends to include
    stabilising\r\nselection and density regulation. Divergence of the population
    from its\r\nancestors causes partial reproductive isolation, which we measure
    through\r\nthe reproductive value of migrants into the newly established population."

  text: Recently it has become feasible to detect long blocks of nearly identical
    sequence shared between pairs of genomes. These IBD blocks are direct traces of
    recent coalescence events and, as such, contain ample signal to infer recent demography.
    Here, we examine sharing of such blocks in two-dimensional populations with local
    migration. Using a diffusion approximation to trace genetic ancestry, we derive
    analytical formulae for patterns of isolation by distance of IBD blocks, which
    can also incorporate recent population density changes. We introduce an inference
    scheme that uses a composite likelihood approach to fit these formulae. We then
    extensively evaluate our theory and inference method on a range of scenarios using
    simulated data. We first validate the diffusion approximation by showing that
    the theoretical results closely match the simulated block sharing patterns. We
    then demonstrate that our inference scheme can accurately and robustly infer dispersal
    rate and effective density, as well as bounds on recent dynamics of population
    density. To demonstrate an application, we use our estimation scheme to explore
    the fit of a diffusion model to Eastern European samples in the POPRES data set.
    We show that ancestry diffusing with a rate of σ ≈ 50–100 km/√gen during the last
    centuries, combined with accelerating population growth, can explain the observed
    exponential decay of block sharing with increasing pairwise sample distance.

  text: Viral capsids are structurally constrained by interactions among the amino
    acids (AAs) of their constituent proteins. Therefore, epistasis is expected to
    evolve among physically interacting sites and to influence the rates of substitution.
    To study the evolution of epistasis, we focused on the major structural protein
    of the fX174 phage family by first reconstructing the ancestral protein sequences
    of 18 species using a Bayesian statistical framework. The inferred ancestral reconstruction
    differed at eight AAs, for a total of 256 possible ancestral haplotypes. For each
    ancestral haplotype and the extant species, we estimated, in silico, the distribution
    of free energies and epistasis of the capsid structure. We found that free energy
    has not significantly increased but epistasis has. We decomposed epistasis up
    to fifth order and found that higher-order epistasis sometimes compensates pairwise
    interactions making the free energy seem additive. The dN/dS ratio is low, suggesting
    strong purifying selection, and that structure is under stabilizing selection.
    We synthesized phages carrying ancestral haplotypes of the coat protein gene and
    measured their fitness experimentally. Our findings indicate that stabilizing
    mutations can have higher fitness, and that fitness optima do not necessarily
    coincide with energy minima.

  text: Dispersal is a crucial factor in natural evolution, since it determines the
    habitat experienced by any population and defines the spatial scale of interactions
    between individuals. There is compelling evidence for systematic differences in
    dispersal characteristics within the same population, i.e., genotype-dependent
    dispersal. The consequences of genotype-dependent dispersal on other evolutionary
    phenomena, however, are poorly understood. In this article we investigate the
    effect of genotype-dependent dispersal on spatial gene frequency patterns, using
    a generalization of the classical diffusion model of selection and dispersal.
    Dispersal is characterized by the variance of dispersal (diffusion coefficient)
    and the mean displacement (directional advection term). We demonstrate that genotype-dependent
    dispersal may change the qualitative behavior of Fisher waves, which change from
    being “pulled” to being “pushed” wave fronts as the discrepancy in dispersal between
    genotypes increases. The speed of any wave is partitioned into components due
    to selection, genotype-dependent variance of dispersal, and genotype-dependent
    mean displacement. We apply our findings to wave fronts maintained by selection
    against heterozygotes. Furthermore, we identify a benefit of increased variance
    of dispersal, quantify its effect on the speed of the wave, and discuss the implications
    for the evolution of dispersal strategies.

  text: 'Our focus here is on the infinitesimal model. In this model, one or several
    quantitative traits are described as the sum of a genetic and a non-genetic component,
    the first being distributed within families as a normal random variable centred
    at the average of the parental genetic components, and with a variance independent
    of the parental traits. Thus, the variance that segregates within families is
    not perturbed by selection, and can be predicted from the variance components.
    This does not necessarily imply that the trait distribution across the whole population
    should be Gaussian, and indeed selection or population structure may have a substantial
    effect on the overall trait distribution. One of our main aims is to identify
    some general conditions on the allelic effects for the infinitesimal model to
    be accurate. We first review the long history of the infinitesimal model in quantitative
    genetics. Then we formulate the model at the phenotypic level in terms of individual
    trait values and relationships between individuals, but including different evolutionary
    processes: genetic drift, recombination, selection, mutation, population structure,
    …. We give a range of examples of its application to evolutionary questions related
    to stabilising selection, assortative mating, effective population size and response
    to selection, habitat preference and speciation. We provide a mathematical justification
    of the model as the limit as the number M of underlying loci tends to infinity
    of a model with Mendelian inheritance, mutation and environmental noise, when
    the genetic component of the trait is purely additive. We also show how the model
    generalises to include epistatic effects. We prove in particular that, within
    each family, the genetic components of the individual trait values in the current
    generation are indeed normally distributed with a variance independent of ancestral
    traits, up to an error of order 1∕M. Simulations suggest that in some cases the
    convergence may be as fast as 1∕M.'

  text: The behaviour of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is typically analysed using
    simulation-based statistical testing-like methods. In this paper, we demonstrate
    that we can replace this approach by a formal verification-like method that gives
    higher assurance and scalability. We focus on Wagner’s weighted GRN model with
    varying weights, which is used in evolutionary biology. In the model, weight parameters
    represent the gene interaction strength that may change due to genetic mutations.
    For a property of interest, we synthesise the constraints over the parameter space
    that represent the set of GRNs satisfying the property. We experimentally show
    that our parameter synthesis procedure computes the mutational robustness of GRNs—an
    important problem of interest in evolutionary biology—more efficiently than the
    classical simulation method. We specify the property in linear temporal logic.
    We employ symbolic bounded model checking and SMT solving to compute the space
    of GRNs that satisfy the property, which amounts to synthesizing a set of linear
    constraints on the weights.

  text: 'Gene expression is controlled by networks of regulatory proteins that interact
    specifically with external signals and DNA regulatory sequences. These interactions
    force the network components to co-evolve so as to continually maintain function.
    Yet, existing models of evolution mostly focus on isolated genetic elements. In
    contrast, we study the essential process by which regulatory networks grow: the
    duplication and subsequent specialization of network components. We synthesize
    a biophysical model of molecular interactions with the evolutionary framework
    to find the conditions and pathways by which new regulatory functions emerge.
    We show that specialization of new network components is usually slow, but can
    be drastically accelerated in the presence of regulatory crosstalk and mutations
    that promote promiscuous interactions between network components.'

  text: Severe environmental change can drive a population extinct unless the population
    adapts in time to the new conditions (“evolutionary rescue”). How does biparental
    sexual reproduction influence the chances of population persistence compared to
    clonal reproduction or selfing? In this article, we set up a one‐locus two‐allele
    model for adaptation in diploid species, where rescue is contingent on the establishment
    of the mutant homozygote. Reproduction can occur by random mating, selfing, or
    clonally. Random mating generates and destroys the rescue mutant; selfing is efficient
    at generating it but at the same time depletes the heterozygote, which can lead
    to a low mutant frequency in the standing genetic variation. Due to these (and
    other) antagonistic effects, we find a nontrivial dependence of population survival
    on the rate of sex/selfing, which is strongly influenced by the dominance coefficient
    of the mutation before and after the environmental change. Importantly, since
    mating with the wild‐type breaks the mutant homozygote up, a slow decay of the
    wild‐type population size can impede rescue in randomly mating populations.

  text: Variation in genotypes may be responsible for differences in dispersal rates,
    directional biases, and growth rates of individuals. These traits may favor certain
    genotypes and enhance their spatiotemporal spreading into areas occupied by the
    less advantageous genotypes. We study how these factors influence the speed of
    spreading in the case of two competing genotypes under the assumption that spatial
    variation of the total population is small compared to the spatial variation of
    the frequencies of the genotypes in the population. In that case, the dynamics
    of the frequency of one of the genotypes is approximately described by a generalized
    Fisher–Kolmogorov–Petrovskii–Piskunov (F–KPP) equation. This generalized F–KPP
    equation with (nonlinear) frequency-dependent diffusion and advection terms admits
    traveling wave solutions that characterize the invasion of the dominant genotype.
    Our existence results generalize the classical theory for traveling waves for
    the F–KPP with constant coefficients. Moreover, in the particular case of the
    quadratic (monostable) nonlinear growth–decay rate in the generalized F–KPP we
    study in detail the influence of the variance in diffusion and mean displacement
    rates of the two genotypes on the minimal wave propagation speed.

  text: Much of quantitative genetics is based on the ‘infinitesimal model’, under
    which selection has a negligible effect on the genetic variance. This is typically
    justified by assuming a very large number of loci with additive effects. However,
    it applies even when genes interact, provided that the number of loci is large
    enough that selection on each of them is weak relative to random drift. In the
    long term, directional selection will change allele frequencies, but even then,
    the effects of epistasis on the ultimate change in trait mean due to selection
    may be modest. Stabilising selection can maintain many traits close to their optima,
    even when the underlying alleles are weakly selected. However, the number of traits
    that can be optimised is apparently limited to ~4Ne by the ‘drift load’, and this
    is hard to reconcile with the apparent complexity of many organisms. Just as for
    the mutation load, this limit can be evaded by a particular form of negative epistasis.
    A more robust limit is set by the variance in reproductive success. This suggests
    that selection accumulates information most efficiently in the infinitesimal regime,
    when selection on individual alleles is weak, and comparable with random drift.
    A review of evidence on selection strength suggests that although most variance
    in fitness may be because of alleles with large Nes, substantial amounts of adaptation
    may be because of alleles in the infinitesimal regime, in which epistasis has
    modest effects.

  text: Assortative mating is an important driver of speciation in populations with
    gene flow and is predicted to evolve under certain conditions in few-locus models.
    However, the evolution of assortment is less understood for mating based on quantitative
    traits, which are often characterized by high genetic variability and extensive
    linkage disequilibrium between trait loci. We explore this scenario for a two-deme
    model with migration, by considering a single polygenic trait subject to divergent
    viability selection across demes, as well as assortative mating and sexual selection
    within demes, and investigate how trait divergence is shaped by various evolutionary
    forces. Our analysis reveals the existence of sharp thresholds of assortment strength,
    at which divergence increases dramatically. We also study the evolution of assortment
    via invasion of modifiers of mate discrimination and show that the ES assortment
    strength has an intermediate value under a range of migration-selection parameters,
    even in diverged populations, due to subtle effects which depend sensitively on
    the extent of phenotypic variation within these populations. The evolutionary
    dynamics of the polygenic trait is studied using the hypergeometric and infinitesimal
    models. We further investigate the sensitivity of our results to the assumptions
    of the hypergeometric model, using individual-based simulations.

  text: 'Ancestral processes are fundamental to modern population genetics and spatial
    structure has been the subject of intense interest for many years. Despite this
    interest, almost nothing is known about the distribution of the locations of pedigree
    or genetic ancestors. Using both spatially continuous and stepping-stone models,
    we show that the distribution of pedigree ancestors approaches a travelling wave,
    for which we develop two alternative approximations. The speed and width of the
    wave are sensitive to the local details of the model. After a short time, genetic
    ancestors spread far more slowly than pedigree ancestors, ultimately diffusing
    out with radius ## rather than spreading at constant speed. In contrast to the
    wave of pedigree ancestors, the spread of genetic ancestry is insensitive to the
    local details of the models.'

  text: The inference of demographic history from genome data is hindered by a lack
    of efficient computational approaches. In particular, it has proved difficult
    to exploit the information contained in the distribution of genealogies across
    the genome. We have previously shown that the generating function (GF) of genealogies
    can be used to analytically compute likelihoods of demographic models from configurations
    of mutations in short sequence blocks (Lohse et al. 2011). Although the GF has
    a simple, recursive form, the size of such likelihood calculations explodes quickly
    with the number of individuals and applications of this framework have so far
    been mainly limited to small samples (pairs and triplets) for which the GF can
    be written by hand. Here we investigate several strategies for exploiting the
    inherent symmetries of the coalescent. In particular, we show that the GF of genealogies
    can be decomposed into a set of equivalence classes that allows likelihood calculations
    from nontrivial samples. Using this strategy, we automated blockwise likelihood
    calculations for a general set of demographic scenarios in Mathematica. These
    histories may involve population size changes, continuous migration, discrete
    divergence, and admixture between multiple populations. To give a concrete example,
    we calculate the likelihood for a model of isolation with migration (IM), assuming
    two diploid samples without phase and outgroup information. We demonstrate the
    new inference scheme with an analysis of two individual butterfly genomes from
    the sister species Heliconius melpomene rosina and H. cydno.

  text: 'Gene regulation relies on the specificity of transcription factor (TF)–DNA
    interactions. Limited specificity may lead to crosstalk: a regulatory state in
    which a gene is either incorrectly activated due to noncognate TF–DNA interactions
    or remains erroneously inactive. As each TF can have numerous interactions with
    noncognate cis-regulatory elements, crosstalk is inherently a global problem,
    yet has previously not been studied as such. We construct a theoretical framework
    to analyse the effects of global crosstalk on gene regulation. We find that crosstalk
    presents a significant challenge for organisms with low-specificity TFs, such
    as metazoans. Crosstalk is not easily mitigated by known regulatory schemes acting
    at equilibrium, including variants of cooperativity and combinatorial regulation.
    Our results suggest that crosstalk imposes a previously unexplored global constraint
    on the functioning and evolution of regulatory networks, which is qualitatively
    distinct from the known constraints that act at the level of individual gene regulatory
    elements.'

  text: "The role of gene interactions in the evolutionary process has long\r\nbeen
    controversial. Although some argue that they are not of\r\nimportance, because
    most variation is additive, others claim that\r\ntheir effect in the long term
    can be substantial. Here, we focus on\r\nthe long-term effects of genetic interactions
    under directional\r\nselection assuming no mutation or dominance, and that epistasis
    is\r\nsymmetrical overall. We ask by how much the mean of a complex\r\ntrait can
    be increased by selection and analyze two extreme\r\nregimes, in which either
    drift or selection dominate the dynamics\r\nof allele frequencies. In both scenarios,
    epistatic interactions affect\r\nthe long-term response to selection by modulating
    the additive\r\ngenetic variance. When drift dominates, we extend Robertson\r\n’\r\ns\r\n[Robertson
    A (1960)\r\nProc R Soc Lond B Biol Sci\r\n153(951):234\r\n−\r\n249]\r\nargument
    to show that, for any form of epistasis, the total response\r\nof a haploid population
    is proportional to the initial total genotypic\r\nvariance. In contrast, the total
    response of a diploid population is\r\nincreased by epistasis, for a given initial
    genotypic variance. When\r\nselection dominates, we show that the total selection
    response can\r\nonly be increased by epistasis when s\r\nome initially deleterious
    alleles\r\nbecome favored as the genetic background changes. We find a sim-\r\nple
    approximation for this effect and show that, in this regime, it is\r\nthe structure
    of the genotype - phenotype map that matters and not\r\nthe variance components
    of the population."
