April 15 (UPI) --Scientists have developed a new algorithm that can predict how a protein could evolve to become highly effective or totally unproductive. The machine learning model -- detailed this ...

It turns out that 155 years after Charles Darwin first published “On the Origin of Species,” vexing questions remain about key aspects of evolution, such as how sexual recombination and natural ...

In a new UCLA-led study, investigators shed light on the intricate processes underlying cancer evolution and define the optimal algorithms to analyze the genetic makeup of tumors. Understanding the ...

Immigration is generally considered an option in genetic algorithms, but I have found immigration to be extremely useful in almost all situations where I use evolutionary optimization. The idea of ...

Computer theorists have identified an algorithm to describe the strategy used by genes during sexual recombination. In doing so, they address the dueling evolutionary forces of survival of the fittest ...

Genetic algorithms (GAs) have emerged as a powerful optimisation tool in product design and user-centred engineering, drawing inspiration from the principles of biological evolution. They use ...
