Table 2 Population simulation
From: A Boolean gene regulatory model of heterosis and speciation
Population | Group of 40 networks (reduced to 10 in every round of selection) |
|---|---|
Regulatory dynamics | The network passes through different states depending on environment and wiring, until it arrives at a stable or recurring attractor state |
Phenotype | Steady state or state cycle of the states of the network’s nodes (attractor) caused by the network dynamics under a certain environment |
Fitness | Similarity between phenotype and ideal phenotype in a specific environment |
