Evolution: Constantly avoiding mutation

نویسنده

  • Paul Sniegowski
چکیده

The genomic mutation rate of the archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, which inhabits a harsh and potentially mutagenic environment, surprisingly agrees well with the previously observed constancy of genomic mutation rates in microbes. The evolutionary explanation for this constancy of genomic mutation rates remains obscure.

Optimum Pareto design of vehicle vibration model excited by non-stationary random road using multi-objective differential evolution algorithm with dynamically adaptable mutation factor

In this paper, a new version of multi-objective differential evolution with dynamically adaptable mutation factor is used for Pareto optimization of a 5-degree of freedom vehicle vibration model excited by non-stationary random road profile. In this way, non-dominated sorting algorithm and crowding distance criterion have been combined to differential evolution with fuzzified mutation in order ...

THE CMA EVOLUTION STRATEGY BASED SIZE OPTIMIZATION OF TRUSS STRUCTURES

Evolution Strategies (ES) are a class of Evolutionary Algorithms based on Gaussian mutation and deterministic selection. Gaussian mutation captures pair-wise dependencies between the variables through a covariance matrix. Covariance Matrix Adaptation (CMA) is a method to update this covariance matrix. In this paper, the CMA-ES, which has found many applications in solving continuous optimizatio...

Evolutionary Reprograming of Protein-Protein Interaction Specificity

Using mutation libraries and deep sequencing, Aakre et al. study the evolution of protein-protein interactions using a toxin-antitoxin model. The results indicate probable trajectories via "intermediate" proteins that are promiscuous, thus avoiding transitions via non-interactions. These results extend observations about other biological interactions and enzyme evolution, suggesting broadly gen...

Stress-induced mutation via DNA breaks in Escherichia coli: A molecular mechanism with implications for evolution and medicine

Evolutionary theory assumed that mutations occur constantly, gradually, and randomly over time. This formulation from the "modern synthesis" of the 1930s was embraced decades before molecular understanding of genes or mutations. Since then, our labs and others have elucidated mutation mechanisms activated by stress responses. Stress-induced mutation mechanisms produce mutations, potentially acc...

Optimum sliding mode controller design based on skyhook model for nonlinear vehicle vibration model

In this paper a new type of multi-objective differential evolution employing dynamically tunable mutation factor is used to optimally design non-linear vehicle model. In this way, non-dominated sorting algorithm with crowding distance criterion are combined to fuziified mutation differential evolution to construct multi-objective algorithm to solve the problem. In order to achieve fuzzified mut...
