How can you use “quasispecies” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

noted that mutant concentrations around 10 -3would follow from equilibrium state of the standard quasispecies model if the mutation rate were μ = 10 -3rather than μ = 10 -4.
The quasispecies theory has been useful to understand RNA virus evolution, but the assumptions underlying the model do not always reflect the biology of RNA viruses.
, the fraction of mutant present in mutation-selection balance should be larger (up to a factor of two) than predicted by the standard quasispecies model if the mutant fitness is low compared to the wild-type fitness.
We show that phenotypic hiding of the mutant genome behind wild-type capsids increases the mutant frequency above the level predicted by the standard quasispecies model.
Among the few RGD mutants that have been isolated, on is RED, a low fitness mutant in which the glycine is replace by glutamic acid [ 53 ] . Ruíz-Jarabo and co-workers found that after revertant RGD genomes became dominant, and mutant genomes were no longer detected in the consensus sequence, RED was able to remain in the population for very long times and at surprisingly high frequencies [ 42 43 44 45 ] . There is a qualitative agreement between the predictions of the quasispecies model and this result, but there is also a quantitative discrepancy.
