Bayesian network modeling for evolutionary genetic structures

BANANA provides a graphical connection of these 12 factors with 26 arcs, showing that: a) Defense ability (DA) is the major factor in survival (with 8 arcs constraints); b) Energy lost in fighting (LA) is the second important factor (with seven arcs constraints); c) The relationships and dependencies also indicate that speedy attack ability (SA), and the energy cost of survival (EF) (with six arcs each). We therefore see that combat occupies a central role and different level of importance of each gene in survival, in a hostile environment with competition for survival. The BN reveals this hidden rule of survival embedded in ALGAE. That is, only certain gene combinations will allow a species to survive. Defense comes first, and attack skills or energy status affects the ‘battle period’. A successful individual’s gene composition does not explain the reason for its success. The data merely reveals the principle; however, BN describes the causal relations among the factors and how these connections influence the way the whole diagram works. It shows the reality of why this species could continue to live and thrive. For ALGAE, it is: who adapts and stays to the last, survives! References
