A Model for the Generation and Transmission of Variations in Evolution [PDF]
, 2013 The inheritance of characteristics induced by the environment has often been opposed to the theory of evolution by natural selection. Yet, while evolution by natural selection requires new heritable traits to be produced and transmitted, it does not ...

Inheritance-Based Diversity Measures for Explicit Convergence Control in Evolutionary Algorithms
, 2018 Diversity is an important factor in evolutionary algorithms to prevent premature convergence towards a single local optimum. In order to maintain diversity throughout the process of evolution, various means exist in literature.

Generalized Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithm Framework with a Mutation Operator Requiring no Adaptation [PDF]
, 2017 This paper presents a generalized hybrid evolutionary optimization structure that not only combines both nondeterministic and deterministic algorithms on their individual merits and distinct advantages, but also offers behaviors of the three originating ...

Chloroplast microsatellites: measures of genetic diversity and the effect of homoplasy [PDF]
, 2005 Chloroplast microsatellites have been widely used in population genetic studies of conifers in recent years. However, their haplotype configurations suggest that they could have high levels of homoplasy, thus limiting the power of these molecular markers.

A statistical model for estimating maternal-zygotic interactions and parent-of-origin effects of QTLs for seed development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Proper development of a seed requires coordinated exchanges of signals among the three components that develop side by side in the seed. One of these is the maternal integument that encloses the other two zygotic components, i.e., the diploid embryo and ...

Computing Individual Risks based on Family History in Genetic Disease in the Presence of Competing Risks [PDF]
, 2017 When considering a genetic disease with variable age at onset (ex: diabetes , familial amyloid neuropathy, cancers, etc.), computing the individual risk of the disease based on family history (FH) is of critical interest both for clinicians and patients.

Evolving dynamic multiple-objective optimization problems with objective replacement [PDF]
, 2005 This paper studies the strategies for multi-objective optimization in a dynamic environment. In particular, we focus on problems with objective replacement, where some objectives may be replaced with new objectives during evolution.

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.This paper proposes two projector‐based Hopfield neural network (HNN) estimators for online, constrained parameter estimation under time‐varying data, additive disturbances, and slowly drifting physical parameters. The first is a constraint‐aware HNN that enforces linear equalities and inequalities (via slack neurons) and continuously tracks the ...

Ancestral haplotype reconstruction in endogamous populations using identity-by-descent.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2021 In this work we develop a novel algorithm for reconstructing the genomes of ancestral individuals, given genotype or sequence data from contemporary individuals and an extended pedigree of family relationships.
