Artificial Evolution: A Continuing SAGA

Arti cial Evolution A Continuing SAGA

I start with a basic tutorial on Arti cial Evolution and then show the simplest possible way of implementing this with the Micro bial Genetic Algorithm I then discuss some shortcomings in many of the basic assumptions of the orthodox Genetic Algorithm GA com munity and give a rather di erent perspective The basic principles of SAGA Species Adaptation GAs will be outlined and the con cept of Neu...

The continuing HIV vaccine saga: naked emperors alongside fairy godmothers

The latest developments in the HIV vaccine field were aired at a Keystone Symposium recently. This Commentary summarizes some of the highlights from this meeting, and focuses on some of the developments that appeared particularly promising, as well as those that do not. Unfortunately, the "saga" continues.

ATAC-king the complexity of SAGA during evolution.

The yeast SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5-acetyltransferase) coactivator complex exerts functions in gene expression, including activator interaction, histone acetylation, histone deubiquitination, mRNA export, chromatin recognition, and regulation of the basal transcription machinery. These diverse functions involve distinct modules within this multiprotein complex. It has now become clear that yeast SAGA ...

Species Adaptation Genetic Algorithms A Basis for a Continuing SAGA

For Arti cial Life applications it is useful to extend Genetic Algorithms from a nite search space with xed length genotypes to open ended evolution with variable length genotypes A new theoretical analysis is required as Holland s Schema Theorem only applies to xed lengths It will be argued using concepts of epistasis and t ness landscapes drawn from theoretical biology that in the long run a ...
