Software Engineering Original • Modifying the source code of the software • How to control the code in other directions? 1000 generations Codon Reassingment S.P. 1001-2000 Clone 1001-2000 • Which codes are we trying to modify? • What is IOIO AUG|GUG|UGA UAA UAG Stop codons Mukai, T., Hayashi, A., Iraha, F., Sato, A., Ohtake, K., Yokoyama, S., & Sakamoto, K. (2010). Codon reassignment in the Escherichia coli genetic code. Nucleic acids research, 38(22), 8188-8195. http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/38/22/8188.full
How do we monitor and supercompute AVIDA evolution? • Which AVIDA organism is better and why? • What happened and when? Organism from generation 483 Ancestor organism
Running Avida • Blacklight • Writing a recursive script • Parallel instead of serial processing of multiple replicate Avida experiments
Altering Avida • What is the purpose of altering the Avida source code? • What is the purpose of identifying the phenotype of an organism? • Why are we minimizing runtime?
