7.81J Systems Biology (Fall 2014, MIT OCW): Lecture 18

7.81J Systems Biology

7.81J Systems Biology (Fall 2014, MIT OCW). Instructor: Professor Jeff Gore. This course provides an introduction to cellular and population-level systems biology with an emphasis on synthetic biology, modeling of genetic networks, cell-cell interactions, and evolutionary dynamics. Cellular systems include genetic switches and oscillators, network motifs, genetic network evolution, and cellular decision-making. Population-level systems include models of pattern formation, cell-cell communication, and evolutionary systems biology. (from ocw.mit.edu)

Lecture 18 - Evolutionary Games

In this lecture, Prof. Jeff Gore begins with a review problem on rugged landscapes. He then moved on to the main subject: evolutionary game theory. This includes the Nash equilibrium, the prisoner's dilemma, and the hawk-dove game.
