Forgiveness, tolerance, and genetic enhancement
Ethics, Medicine and Public Health, 2016Summary Genetic enhancement that aims to remove human weaknesses would possibly ruin many things that have considerable moral value. Certain mental processes, such as (1) the process of forgiving and (2) the process of finding something tolerable consist partly of perceiving the other person as psychologically weak, and social institutions of ...

Performance enhanced genetic programming
1997Genetic Programming is increasing in popularity as the basis for a wide range of learning algorithms. However, the technique has to date only been successfully applied to modest tasks because of the performance overheads of evolving a large number of data structures, many of which do not correspond to a valid program.

Genetic enhancement, futures tense
Futures, 2011Abstract This article reviews central developments on the intersections of genetics research, genetic counselling and bioethics that, in the 1970s and 1980s came together in the construction of the genetic decision maker through an “enhancement imaginary”.

Some Jewish Thoughts on Genetic Enhancement
Journal of Medical Ethics, 2011The issues of the ethics of germ line modification in general and of enhancement by germ line modification in particular have been the subject of hundreds of articles in the bioethical literature. Both because the techniques are far from perfected and because the potential long term side effects are unkown, there is a widespread consensus that germ ...

An Enhanced Genetic Algorithm with Orthogonal Design
2006 IEEE International Conference on Evolutionary Computation, 2006This paper presents an enhanced Latin square genetic algorithm (LSGA). It makes the chromosomes to be more sensible to their surrounding regions. The algorithm applies orthogonal design method to every chromosome in the population to detect chromosomes with high fitness values in the surrounding regions.

Enhancing Population Diversity for Genetic Algorithms
2009 Fifth International Conference on Natural Computation, 2009The premature convergence may lead the genetic algorithms (GAs) to a local optimum but not a global one. Maintaining the population diversity in GAs, or minimize its loss, may alleviate this problem to a certain extent. A novel selector based on eugenics (EBSelector) has been proposed to faciliate effective selection of individuals to perform crossover,

The Genetic Virtue Project (GVP) is a proposed interdisciplinary effort between philosophers, psychologists and geneticists to discover and enhance human ethics using biotechnology genetic correlates of virtuous behavior. The empirical plausibility that virtues have biological correlates is based on the claims that (a) virtues are a subset of ...

Genetic Enhancement in the Dark
Journal of the Philosophy of Sport, 2009The emergence of genetic transfer technology has resulted in growing interest among philosophers of sport in the ethical issues raised by the potential application of such technology to the enhancement of sporting performance. 1 This has been a central component of the emergence of sports medicine ethics.

Genome analysis and genetic enhancement of tomato
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2009The Solanaceae is an important family of vegetable crops, ornamentals and medicinal plants. Tomato has served as a model member of this family largely because of its enriched cytogenetic, genetic, as well as physical, maps. Mapping has helped in cloning several genes of importance such as Pto, responsible for resistance against bacterial speck disease,

Genetic Variation in Long-Range Enhancers
2019Cis-regulatory elements (CREs), including insulators, promoters, and enhancers, play critical roles in the establishment and maintenance of normal cellular function. Within each cell, the 3D structure of chromatin is arranged in specific patterns to expose the CREs required for optimal spatiotemporal regulation of gene expression.
