Our paper "Selective sweep probabilities in spatially expanding populations" is out in Nature Communications! Our work extends the theory of population genetics and contributes to our understanding of cancer evolution. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Selective sweep probabilities in spatially expanding populations - Nature Communications

In this study, the authors use mathematical modelling and analysis to understand how mutations spread through populations that are expanding in space. The results shed light on the evolution of biolog...
