Simulating And Modelling Adaptive Walks With The Nk Model, Abigail K. Kushnir Aug 2022

Simulating And Modelling Adaptive Walks With The Nk Model, Abigail K. Kushnir

Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference

This presentation outlines results obtained by simulating adaptive walks using the NK model. We were interested in how the mutation bias affects the distribution of fitness effects and how we could use our results to form theoretical equations to model the behaviour of a walk. Necessary biological background is also described.
