Our latest #preprint https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.01.11.475913v2 @jdmatheson calls for significant change to the theory of #BackgroundSelection, a phenomenon by which some genomic segments of some individuals don’t count toward an #EffectivePopulationSize because they contain too many deleterious mutations. 1/5

Any math person here willing to review my heavy-math thesis chapter? It is around ~7000 words, beyond my supervisors' expertise, and I need to submit by March so he/she/they needs to have a lot of free time this February 🙃

#introduction
Hi fellow ecoevo socialites! My name is Walid Mawass and I hail from the small country of Lebanon, currently in the US (previously Canada and France). I count myself as an #evolutionarygeneticist, my research interests focus on #naturalselection and #geneticvariation. I work with both #quantitativegenetics and #populationgenetics models, heavy on the computation. I am currently working on #mutationload and #populationdynamics. Other interests include #music #policy #education
#introduction I mostly work using in silico experiments and mathematical modeling to understand how properties of biological systems affect their evolution. Some of the topics I have studied include:
The effect of #epistasis in the accumulation and purging of deleterious mutations in organisms with high mutation rates. #mutationload
How the #modularity of
#DevelopmentalProcesses affect the #PhenotypicVariability of biological systems. #IntroductionBias
