Stochastic Mathematical Modeling

Evolutionary Dynamics: The Moran Model

This project intents to investigate concepts in evolutionary dynamics, specially biological effects that arise from stochasticy, such as Neutral drift. The goal is to study the Moran model and get intuition of its behaviour and biological implications.

In order to do so, the project is based on computational simulations of the model performed in R and Python.

Project structure

The project's folder structure is organized as shown below. In the R and in the Python directory you will find the scripts (and for Python also the Jupyter Notebook was also included). The docs contains the short report of the project and the .bib file, and in figs you can find all the resulting figures.
