    Keywords : robustness; evolvability; genotype-phenotype map; canalization; Bayesian inference; simulation-based inference; information theory; neural networks; pyloric rhythm; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Evolution is a fundamental and crucial part of life that hinges on two central properties: robustness and evolvability. Robustness is required to maintain essential traits despite mutations while evolvability produces novel traits that might prove beneficial in survival. READ MORE

  3. 2. Genome size and phenotypic plasticity in the seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Jesper Boman; [2017]
    Keywords : seed beetle; genome size; genome evolution; phenotypic plasticity;

    Abstract : It has long been evident that genome size is not an accurate measure of organismal complexity. This paradox was “solved” with the discovery of nonfunctional and selfish DNA in the 1970s. However, emerging from this explanation was an enigma of complexity. READ MORE
