Epistasis and Deceptivity
Deceptivity and epistasis both contribute to make fitness functions hard to optimize for a genetic algorithm. In this note we examine the relation between these concepts, with particular emphasis on their mutual reinforcement.

متن کاملEpistasis and Entropy
Epistasis is a key concept in the theory of adaptation. Indicators of epistasis are of interest for large systems where systematic fitness measurements may not be possible. Some recent approaches depend on information theory. We show that considering shared entropy for pairs of loci can be misleading. The reason is that shared entropy does not imply epistasis for the pair. This observation hold...
متن کاملGeometry, epistasis, and developmental patterning.
Developmental signaling networks are composed of dozens of components whose interactions are very difficult to quantify in an embryo. Geometric reasoning enumerates a discrete hierarchy of phenotypic models with a few composite variables whose parameters may be defined by in vivo data. Vulval development in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a classic model for the integration of two signal...
متن کاملSynergistic epistasis and alternative hypotheses.
Inbreeding generally results in deleterious shifts in mean fitness. If the fitness response to increasing inbreeding coefficient is non-linear, this suggests a contribution of epistasis to inbreeding depression. In a cross-breeding experiment, Salathe & Ebert (2003. J. Evol. Biol. 16: 976-985) tested and found the presence of this non-linearity in Daphnia magna. They argue that epistatic intera...
