Brain structure and function are determined in part through experience and in part through our inherited genes. A powerful approach for unravelling the balance between activity-dependent neuronal plasticity and genetic programs is to directly manipulate th ...
We introduce and apply a genetic representation for analog electronic circuits based on the association of character strings extracted from the genome with the ter-minals and parameters of components, and the use of local string alignment to generate the c ...
In this paper we address the problem of defining a measure of diversity for a population of individuals whose genome can be subjected to major reorganizations during the evolutionary process. To this end, we introduce a measure of diversity for populations ...
Bio-inspired electronic circuits have the potential to address some of the shortcomings of conventional electronic circuits, such as lack of applicability to ill-defined problems, of robustness, or of adaptivity to unexpectedly changing environments. Bio-i ...
Evolving large phenotypes remains nowadays a problem due to the combinatorial explosion of the search space. Seeking better scalability and inspired by the development of biological systems several indirect genetic encodings have been proposed. Here two di ...
The significant increase in the available computational power that took place in recent decades has been accompanied by a growing interest in the application of the evolutionary approach to the synthesis of many kinds of systems and, in particular, to the ...
Indirect genotype to phenotype mappings in the form of developmental systems may allow better scalability to larger phenotypes in evolvable hardware. This report reviews developmental systems used in evolvable hardware and it proposes a new classifications ...
One of the characteristics of the host defense of insects is the rapid synthesis of a variety of potent antibacterial and antifungal peptides. To date, seven types of inducible antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been characterized in Drosophila. The import ...
Artificial evolution of computer software (evolutionary neural networks, genetic programming, evolutionary fuzzy systems, etc.) has been shown to generate software that in many cases is more performant than that designed by engineers. Evolved software perf ...
Identification of the regulatory structures in genetic networks and the formulation of mechanistic models in the form of wiring diagrams is one of the significant objectives of expression profiling using DNA microarray technologies and it requires the deve ...
