Artificial evolution of robot bodies and control: on the interaction between evolution, individual and cultural learning

open access: yes, 2021
We survey and reflect on evolutionary approaches to the joint optimisation of the body and control of a robot, in scenarios where a the goal is to find a design that maximises performance on a specified task. The review is grounded in a general framework

Scenarios for the evolution of life on Mars [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2005
As the environmental histories of Earth and Mars have diverged drastically after the first few hundred million years, so would the history of any life on them. While Earth has had liquid water on its surface for billions of years, Mars most likely had long dry and cold environments interspersed with warmer and wetter periods.

Maximum-likelihood divergence date estimates based on rRNA gene sequences suggest two scenarios of Trypanosoma cruzi intraspecific evolution

open access: yes, 2001
The phylogenetic relationships of Trypanosoma cruzi strains were inferred using maximum-likelihood from complete 18S rDNA sequences and D7-24S alpha rDNA regions from 20 representative strains of T. cruzi. For this we sequenced the 18S rDNA of 14 strains

URBANCO2FAB: COMPREHENSION OF CONCURRENT VIEWPOINTS OF URBAN FABRIC BASED ON GIT [PDF]

open access: yesISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018
The study of urban evolution requires representation and management of concurrent points of view using interoperable standards. An extension to CityGML has been recently proposed (Chaturvedi et al., 2017) to represent urban evolution. In this article, we

Likely Scenarios of Intron Evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Whether common ancestors of eukaryotes and prokaryotes had introns is one of the oldest unanswered questions in molecular evolution. Recently completed genome sequences have been used for comprehensive analyses of exon-intron organization in orthologous genes of diverse organisms, leading to more refined work on intron evolution.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Epigenetic inheritance speeds up evolution of artificial organisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
International audienceDNA is not the sole medium by which parents transmit information to their offspring. Epigenetic inheritance, in particular , is based on the partial transmission of the cellular state of the parental cell to its descendants ...
