Bridging The Genotype-Phenotype Mapping For Digital Fpgas
نویسندگان
چکیده
To solve the genome complexity issue and enable evolution of large complex circuits, the need to move away from a one-to-one genotype/phenotype mapping is becoming generally accepted. This involves development of new forms of representation with features such as growth. Shrinking the size of the genotype in effect moves complexity from the genotype representation to the genotype/phenotype mapping. The field of digital evolvable hardware is relatively young but already researchers have not only had to move through different technology platforms i.e. 6200, 4000 and Virtex series, but also evolution friendly features have disappeared. A mass produced evolution friendly reconfigurable platform is not likely to be ahead of us and a newer technology more evolution friendly than traditional reconfigurable platforms is not around the corner. To be able to reuse results and lessons learned from today’s technology on tomorrow’s technology and exploit the power of evolution, one solution is to provide a virtual evolution friendly reconfigurable platform which may be mapped onto a given technology. We propose a two stage genotype/phenotype mapping using our virtual evolvable hardware FPGA as the bridge. The two stages simplify the genotype/phenotype transition at the same time as the virtual evolvable hardware FPGA bridge provides a more evolution friendly platform, further reducing the complexity of the genotype representation.

Bridging scales in cancer progression: mapping genotype to phenotype using neural networks.
In this review we summarise our recent efforts in trying to understand the role of heterogeneity in cancer progression by using neural networks to characterise different aspects of the mapping from a cancer cells genotype and environment to its phenotype. Our central premise is that cancer is an evolving system subject to mutation and selection, and the primary conduit for these processes to oc...
متن کاملAn efficient approach to large-scale genotype-phenotype association analyses
Modern molecular biotechnology generates a great deal of intermediate information, such as transcriptional and metabolic products in bridging DNA and complex traits. In genome-wide linkage analysis and genome-wide association study, regression analysis for large-scale correlated phenotypes is applied to map genes for those by-products that are regarded as quantitative traits. For a single trait...
متن کاملMorphogenetic Evolvable Hardware Controllers for Robot Walking
We propose to develop reactive robot leg controllers in hardware using a morphogenetic approach that incorporates both evolutionary and developmental processes. Evolvable hardware has been crippled by issues of scalability and viability of evolved designs that arise when evolving complex circuits on modern mainstream field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). To overcome these limitations requires...
متن کاملBridging the genotype–phenotype gap: what does it take?
The genotype-phenotype map (GP map) concept applies to any time point in the ontogeny of a living system. It is the outcome of very complex dynamics that include environmental effects, and bridging the genotype-phenotype gap is synonymous with understanding these dynamics. The context for this understanding is physiology, and the disciplinary goals of physiology do indeed demand the physiologic...
