Genetic Repair Strategies Inspired by Arabidopsisthaliana

چکیده
Recent advances in genetics controversially suggest that the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana performs genetic repair using genetic information that originates in the individual’s grandparent generation. We apply this ancestral genetic repair strategy within an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to solve a constraint based optimisation problem. Results indicate that the grandparent based genetic repair strategy outperforms the parent alternative. Within this framework, we investigate the impact of storing only the fittest ancestors for use as a repair template. The influence of performing repair in a fixed direction is compared to randomly varying the direction in which error detection proceeds. Finally we explore the impact of varying the direction of repair on the results produced. All results seem to support the non-Mendelian inheritance process suggested by Lolle et al.

Abstract— A new Quantum Inspired Evolutionary Computational Technique (QIECT) is reported in this work. It is applied to a set of standard test bench problems and a few structural engineering design problems. The algorithm is a hybrid of quantum inspired evolution and real coded Genetic evolutionary simulated annealing strategies. It generates initial parents randomly and improves them using qu...

Introduction: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC, Lynch syndrome) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. The disease is caused by a mutation in one of four genes of the DNA mismatch repair system and increases the risk for various cancers, especially the uterine and colon cancers. The prevalence of this disease in the general population is about 1 in 500 and it causes about 2-3...
متن کاملGenetic Repair for Optimization under Constraints Inspired by Arabidopsis Thaliana
It has recently been proposed that the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress), uses a newly discovered genetic repair system to repair errors at the genetic level. A. thaliana uses information from the grandparent’s genes as a basis for this correction – so genetic information appears to skip a generation. We apply this gene repair strategy to a combinatory optimization problem, firstl...
