The aim of the present paper is to study the evolutionary dynamics of selfish replicators in a constant genetic background. Selfish replicators are viewed as alleles at a single locus, having a pleiotropic effect. Infinitely many alleles are possible; they act on individual fitness and have various

Abortive cycling features transcription initiation by RNA polymerase in both prokaryote and eukaryote. It is known that T7 RNA polymerase produces abortive transcripts up to eight ribonucleotides in length depending on the initial sequence of the DNA message. On the other hand, T7 RNA polymerase ini
## Abstract The theory of Punctuated Equilibria challenges the neoβDarwinian tenet that evolution is a uniform process. Recently, an article by Hunt1 has found that directional change during the evolution of a lineage is relatively small (occurring only in 5% of 250 analyzed traits). Of those trait
