The Surprising Creativity of Digital Evolution: A Collection of Anecdotes from the Evolutionary Computation and Artificial Life Research Communities
Joel Lehman, Jeff Clune, Dusan Misevic +50
Biological evolution provides a creative fount of complex and subtle adaptations, often surprising the scientists who discover them. However, because evolution is an algorithmic pr…
Horizontal gene transfer may explain variation in θs
Rohan Maddamsetti, Philip J. Hatcher, Stéphane Cruveiller +3
Martincorena et al. estimated synonymous diversity (θs = 2Nμ) across 2,930 orthologous gene alignments from 34 Escherichia coli genomes, and found substantial variation among genes…
Compensatory mutations cause excess of antagonistic epistasis in RNA secondary structure folding
Claus O Wilke, Richard E Lenski, Christoph Adami
Background: The rate at which fitness declines as an organism's genome accumulates random mutations is an important variable in several evolutionary theories. At an intuitive level…
