Modeling evolution of spatially distributed bacterial communities: a simulation with the haploid evolutionary constructor

摘要

BackgroundMultiscale approaches for integrating submodels of various levels of biological organization into a single model became the major tool of systems biology. In this paper, we have constructed and simulated a set of multiscale models of spatially distributed microbial communities and study an influence of unevenly distributed environmental factors on the genetic diversity and evolution of the community members.
