ABSTRACT:
The neutral theory of molecular evolution states that the accumulation of
neutral mutations in the genome is fundamental for evolution to occur. The
genetic representation of gene expression programming, an artificial
genotype/phenotype system, not only allows the existence of non-coding
regions in the genome where neutral mutations can accumulate but also allows
the controlled manipulation of both the number and the extent of these
non-coding regions. Therefore, gene expression programming is an ideal
artificial system where the neutral theory of evolution can be tested in
order to gain some insights into the workings of artificial evolutionary
systems. The results presented in this work show beyond any doubt that the
existence of neutral regions in the genome is fundamental for evolution to
occur efficiently.
Best regards,
Candida Ferreira
