DIFFUSION OF A POPULATION OF INTERACTING REPLICATORS IN SEQUENCE SPACE

We consider a simple model for catalyzed replication. Computer simulations show that a finite population moves in sequence space by diffusion analogous to the behavior of a quasispecies on a flat fitness landscape. The diffusion constant depends linearly on the per position mutation rate and the ratio of sequence length and population size.
