In Silico Evolution of Gene Cooption in Pattern-Forming Gene Networks

Dynamic transposons. (a) Examples of the growth of transposons (population average) during computational evolution, for different values of the transposon/transposition operators TE growth and TE action. (b) The dependence of evolvability on transposon activity. (c) Sustainable growth of transposon length during evolutionary search at different activity levels of the transposons. Other parameters are as follows: Popul = 8000; Reprod = 40%; Recrs = 8 (maximum number of recruits); Mut = 32%; Cross = 8%; EvalSum = 1000000; TE growth = TE action.
