Abstract excerpt
An organism persists through the activity of structural genes, which is co-ordinated by clusters of coupled regulatory genes. During evolution, changes of coupling within a cluster can increase the reliability with which its structural genes perform a task. To study the evolution of coupling, we have simulated and analyzed a stochastic model for a simple problem. The assumptions of the model are these: A network...
