Self-Adaptation of Genome Size in Artificial Organisms
... artificial organisms evolve during 30000 generations with µ = 10−5 . Then we changed the rate of the small mutations and/or the rate of the rearrangements, and let the evolution go on. When all mutation rates are increased, the acquired genomic structure is quickly displaced by a new, shorter one, m ...
