Inferring the age and strength of mutations evolving under positive selection

Nicky Louise Ormond

A fundamental goal of population genetics is to determine and quantify the interplay of mutation, natural selection, genetic drift and migration in shaping allelic frequency changes that underpin evolution-ary change. In this dissertation, I present comput ...

MedCo: Enabling Privacy-Conscious Exploration of Distributed Clinical and Genomic Data

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Bryan Alexander Ford, Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, Jean Louis Raisaro, Joao André Gomes de Sá e Sousa, Mickaël Misbach

Being able to share large amounts of sensitive clinical and genomic data across several institutions is crucial for precision medicine to scale up. Unfor- tunately, existing solutions only partially address this challenge and are still unable to provide th ...

Two sides of the same coin: A population genetics perspective on lethal mutagenesis and mutational meltdown

Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski, Nicky Louise Ormond

The extinction of RNA virus populations upon application of a mutagenic drug is frequently referred to as evidence for the existence of an error threshold, above which the population cannot sustain the mutational load. To explain the extinction process aft ...

An Approximate Markov Model for the Wright-Fisher Diffusion and Its Application to Time Series Data

Jeffrey David Jensen

The joint and accurate inference of selection and demography from genetic data is considered a particularly challenging question in population genetics, since both process may lead to very similar patterns of genetic diversity. However, additional informat ...

Antiviral drug resistance as an adaptive process

Kristen Kay Irwin, Jeffrey David Jensen

Antiviral drug resistance is a matter of great clinical importance that, historically, has been investigated mostly from a virological perspective. Although the proximate mechanisms of resistance can be readily uncovered using these methods, larger evoluti ...
