Title
CMCpy: Genetic Code-Message Coevolution Models in Python
Abstract
Code-message coevolution (CMC) models represent coevolution of a genetic code and a population of protein-coding genes (“messages”). Formally, CMC models are sets of quasispecies coupled together for fitness through a shared genetic code. Although CMC models display plausible explanations for the origin of multiple genetic code traits by natural selection, useful modern implementations of CMC models are not currently available. To meet this need we present CMCpy, an object-oriented Python API and command-line executable front-end that can reproduce all published results of CMC models. CMCpy implements multiple solvers for leading eigenpairs of quasispecies models. We also present novel analytical results that extend and generalize applications of perturbation theory to quasispecies models and pioneer the application of a homotopy method for quasispecies with non-unique maximally fit genotypes. Our results therefore facilitate the computational and analytical study of a variety of evolutionary systems. CMCpy is free open-source software available from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/CMCpy/.

Interview with Professor Jamie DaviesI am highly impressed with the professional integrity, efficiency, and friendly communication of the editorial staff at Libertas Academia. Recently, I had an authorship issue which I brought to the attention of the Publisher and CEO (Mr. Tom Hill) of the journal Air, Soil, and Water Research. The issue was taken very seriously and was handled appropriately in an efficient and timely manner. I would like to express my sincere appreciation and utmost respect for ...
