Constrained Diffusion as a Paradigm for Evolution

2026-03-11

Abstract excerpt

A foundational question in computational biology is how to utilize data to describe the forces driving evolution. Here, we view evolution as a novel diffusion process constrained by many biological, physical, and environmental factors affecting organism viability at any given time. We introduce DiffEvol , a framework that models evolution as constrained diffusion over a discrete genotype space. Using real-world g...
