Abstract:
We consider a simple model for catalyzed replication. Computer
simulations show that a finite population moves in sequence space by
diffusion analgous to the behavior of a quasispecies on a flat fitness
landscape. The diffusion constant depends linearly on the per
position mutation rate and the ratio of sequence length and population
size.
