The transcription of the viral RNA is inhibited and therefore the replication rate of the virus reduces.
At 37 C virus replication rate falls to 10% to 50% of optimum.
But he made several programming mistakes-like setting the wrong replication rate- and the worm probably could have been written by many students or programmers.
It has been observed in yeast and worms that essential genes tent to cluster in regions with a small replication rate.
Look at that replication rate.
Suppose the red species secretes a red metabolite, at metabolic cost to itself, that aids the replication rate of the blue species.
Conversely, suppose the blue species secretes a dierent blue metabolite, at metabolic cost to itself, that increases the replication rate of the red species.
The complex and unique cell wall that makes members of the Mycobacterium genus difficult to destroy is apparently also the reason for the extremely slow replication rate.
It is assumed that every genotype has a well-defined replication rate (often referred to as fitness).
If all genotypes have the same replication rate, on the other hand, a fitness landscape is said to be flat.
