We introduce a Markov model for the evolution of a gene family along a phylogeny. The model includes parameters for the rates of horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication, and gen...
Model-based development promises to increase productivity by offering modeling languages tailored to a specific domain. Such modeling languages are typically defined by a metamodel...
Understanding the hierarchical relationships among biochemical, metabolic, and physiological systems in the mapping between genotype and phenotype is expected to improve the diagno...
—In this paper, we propose a communication model of evolution and investigate its information-theoretic bounds. The process of evolution is modeled as the retransmission of infor...
Abstract. An evolutionary system is presented which employs an embryogeny model to evolve phenotypes in the form of layout of cells in specific patterns and shapes. It is shown th...
