PLAZZMID: Evolutionary algorithms from bacterial and bee genomes
PLAZZMID is a novel flexible and extensible computational framework
and toolset inspired by sophisticated models of
complex biological evolutionary processes that occur in bacteria and in bees.
The tools will be able to be used both
to build and analyse testable models of biological evolutionary processes,
and to build and analyse powerful novel computational metaphors
and algorithms based on these more sophisticated biological models.
Within the research project, the tools will be used in a series of
theoretical biological experiments on the relationship
between genome structure and evolvability,
and used to evolve computational systems
exhibiting complex homeostatic control in a changing environment.
