The Blyth Institute is excited to share its research on modeling the population dynamics of parameterized mutations this year at Evolution 2026! Jonathan Bartlett will be discussing “parameterization” as a new way of thinking about the most common types of mutations, and what impact that has on models of population dynamics, focusing on its impact on beneficial/deleterious ratios and the concept of genetic load.

UPDATE: You can watch the conference video here. Additionally, because the conference version had to be rushed to meet time requirements, we also posted one at a more relaxed pace below:
