Shaping robust system through evolution [PDF]
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2008 Biological functions are generated as a result of developmental dynamics that form phenotypes governed by genotypes. The dynamical system for development is shaped through genetic evolution following natural selection based on the fitness of the phenotype.

Robustness of adiabatic quantum computation [PDF]
, 2001 We study the fault tolerance of quantum computation by adiabatic evolution, a quantum algorithm for solving various combinatorial search problems. We describe an inherent robustness of adiabatic computation against two kinds of errors, unitary control ...

Effects of ploidy and recombination on evolution of robustness in a model of the segment polarity network. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2009 Many genetic networks are astonishingly robust to quantitative variation, allowing these networks to continue functioning in the face of mutation and environmental perturbation. However, the evolution of such robustness remains poorly understood for real

Evolution of Robustness to Protein Mistranslation by Accelerated Protein Turnover. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2015 Translational errors occur at high rates, and they influence organism viability and the onset of genetic diseases. To investigate how organisms mitigate the deleterious effects of protein synthesis errors during evolution, a mutant yeast strain was ...

Molecular Systems Biology, 2008 Gene expression, like many biological processes, is subject to noise. This noise has been measured on a global scale, but its general importance to the fitness of an organism is unclear.

Idealised simulations of cyclones with robust symmetrically-unstable sting jets [PDF]
, 2020 Idealised simulations of Shapiro-Keyser cyclones developing a sting jet (SJ) are presented. Thanks to an improved and accurate implementation of thermal wind balance in the initial state, it has been possible to use more realistic environments than in ...

Evolution of Robustness and Plasticity under Environmental Fluctuation: Formulation in terms of Phenotypic Variances [PDF]
, 2012 The characterization of plasticity, robustness, and evolvability, an important issue in biology, is studied in terms of phenotypic fluctuations. By numerically evolving gene regulatory networks, the proportionality between the phenotypic variances of ...

PERSPECTIVE: EVOLUTION AND DETECTION OF GENETIC ROBUSTNESS [PDF]
Evolution, 2003 Robustness is the invariance of phenotypes in the face of perturbation. The robustness of phenotypes appears at various levels of biological organization, including gene expression, protein folding, metabolic flux, physiological homeostasis, development, and even organismal fitness.

Recombination drives the evolution of mutational robustness [PDF]
Current Opinion in Systems Biology, 2019 Recombination can impose fitness costs as beneficial parental combinations of alleles are broken apart, a phenomenon known as recombination load. Computational models suggest that populations may evolve a reduced recombination load by reducing either the likelihood of recombination events (bring interacting loci in physical proximity) or the strength ...
