Self-adaptive Mutation in Molecular Evolution
This study is focused on an evolutionary algorithm for automated de novo drug design. It discusses how to improve the mutation operator of such an algorithm. By introducing a weighted mutation scheme it tries to improve the performance of the algorithm as well as facilitating for the use of self-adaptation. The two questions which this study tries to answer are: Does introduction of di erent we...
متن کاملEvidence for the Adaptive Evolution of Mutation Rates
and reproduction. The rate of these back-mutations (as well as of other, nonadaptive mutations) increases La Jolla, California 92093 greatly with starvation. This mutator phenotype is not itself heritable—the survivors produce progeny cells with normal mutation rates. Adaptive evolution has long been regarded as the result The SOS response has been implicated in such adap-of postmutational sort...
متن کاملAdaptive Search Range and Multi-Mutation Strategies for Differential Evolution
In this paper, an improved DE is proposed to improve optimization performance by involving four searching strategies: current-to-better mutation, real-random-mutation, sharing mutation, and focused search. When evolution speed is standstill, sharing mutation can increase the search depth; in addition, real-random mutation can disturb individuals and can help individuals diverge to local optimum...
متن کاملI-16: The Evolution of Morality and Implications for Animal Usage
The propensity to show moral behaviour has evolved in all animals living in complex societies as it promotes social stability. All major religions provide a structure for a moral code. The code is valuable in the societies where the religions have influence. The most important aspects of morality are the same in all countries. Because of their moral code, people consider that they have obligati...
متن کاملEnvironmentally constrained mutation and adaptive evolution in Salmonella
The relationship between environment and mutation is complex [1]. Claims of Lamarkian mutation [2] have proved unfounded [3-5]; it is apparent, however, that the external environment can influence the generation of heritable variation, through either direct effects on DNA sequence [6] or DNA maintenance and copying mechanisms [7-10], or as a consequence of evolutionary processes [11-16]. The sp...
