Interplay of chemotaxis and chemokinesis mechanisms in bacterial dynamics (2003)
D'Orsogna, Maria R., Suchard, Marc, Chou, Tom
Motivated by observations of the dynamics of {\it Myxococcus xanthus}, we present a self-interacting random walk model that describes the competition between chemokinesis and chemotaxis. Cells are...
Induced Priors On Branch Restrictions Under Equally Likely Evolutionary Trees (2000)
Marc Suchard, Robert Weiss, Janet Sinsheimer, Testing Phylogenetics
this paper, we examine the eect of priors that place equal weights on all same-sized evolutionary trees has on testing the appropriateness of dierent restrictions on branch lengths. We test...
Evolutionary Similarity Among Genes When Data Are Sparse (2000)
Marc Suchard, Robert Weiss, Karin Dorman, Megha Patel, Edward Mccabe, Janet Sinsheimer
Introduction Genes that encode functionally interacting proteins may show similar evolutionary histories to maintain their functional relationships over time (van Valen, 1973). We consider two genes...
