Intro by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 04:01 PM: Introduction to evolution@home (EvoHo) and evolutionary-research (EvRe).

Research by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 03:57 PM: Laurence Loewe: My research centres on detailed simulation models that integrate biological knowledge in order to understand more about evolution. To do this I combine current systems biology with evolutionary genetics in an approach that I call evolutionary systems biology. I use this approach to investigate the genetic basis for adaptive evolution and the evolutionary consequences of slightly deleterious mutations. These general topics are important for understanding the evolution of antibiotics resistance in bacteria and many other practical problems.

Teaching by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 03:28 PM: Homepages of courses that teach about details of evolution.

Overview by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 03:28 PM: This overview points to teaching resources, tools for searching literature and content of important journals for evolutionary research.

Other introductions to evolution by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 03:20 PM: Links to other pages that give introductions to evolutionary theory that are easy to understand.

Mutations in proteins, genes & genomes by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 03:15 PM: A very short introduction to current knowledge on what mutations do to the structure of genomes, genes and proteins.

Introduction by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 03:14 PM: The engine of evolution is the combination of all forces that drive evolution. These pages take an introductory look at them.

The engine of evolution by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 03:14 PM: Evolution is driven by powerful forces of nature. These pages are a short introduction to the various forces that govern biological evolution.

Why evolution matters by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 02:03 PM: Evolutionary biology touches many topics of practical importance. It also investigates some fascinating questions. Here is a very selective shortlist.

How science works by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 02:01 PM: A very short introduction to the scientific method.

The principle of Muller’s ratchet by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 01:56 PM: The main effect of Muller’s ratchet is the accumulation of slightly harmful DNA changes in a population over many generations. This can lead to the extinction of species and is thus of considerable biological interest.

How to quantify effects of Muller's ratchet by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 01:45 PM: Evolution@home has compiled the largest existing database of Muller's ratchet simulation results. This allows quantifications of the threat of extinction and other aspects of Muller's ratchet with unprecedented accuracy. Depending on what you know about your favorite organism, evolution@home results might help to work out what the ratchet does there.

Muller's ratchet by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 01:42 PM: If you are a scientist and want to quantify the effects of Muller's ratchet in your favourite model system, evolution@home might be able to help you.

Evolution@home results overview by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 01:41 PM

Simulator005 by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 02, 2009 01:39 PM: Simulator005 investigates the the accumulation of harmful and beneficial DNA-changes in non-recombining populations. These asexual systems can experience a phenomenon called "Muller's ratchet" and might help to understand the evolution of human mitochondrial DNA.
