April 15 (UPI) --Scientists have developed a new algorithm that can predict how a protein could evolve to become highly effective or totally unproductive. The machine learning model -- detailed this ...

Genetic algorithms borrow their name and principles from biological evolution, but can they help researchers discover the fundamentals of life? Evolution is one of the most widely known theories in ...

It turns out that 155 years after Charles Darwin first published “On the Origin of Species,” vexing questions remain about key aspects of evolution, such as how sexual recombination and natural ...

Constantly "re-rolling the dice", combining and selecting: "Evolutionary algorithms" mimic natural evolution in silico and lead to innovative solutions for complex problems. Constantly “re-rolling the ...

Imagine a very complex problem—supply chain optimization, for example—in which a computer generates millions of trial solutions completely at random and then ...

Software that simulates genetic evolution can improve the coverage provided by a network of low orbiting satellites. Researchers at Purdue University in Indiana have “evolved” a solution to the ...
