Synthesized ecological molecular neutral theory
An early presentation given on a potential synthesis of ecological and molecular neutral theory. This idea used the genome and metagenome as a unit for synthesis. The idea is far from fully developed (certainly not bullet-proof), but was developed enough for Ethan White and myself to be awarded a computing grant to explore it. I had largely planned to apply a model based on this idea, which could allow for all types of genomic changes, to microbial communities.
