Artificial selection methods from evolutionary computing show promise for directed evolution of microbes

This study evaluates artificial selection algorithms from evolutionary computing for directing microbial evolution toward multiple traits, finding that multi-objective methods outperform traditional approaches.

Spatial Structure Can Decrease Symbiotic Cooperation

This study uses an artificial life simulation to show that spatial structure can reduce mutualism at intermediate vertical transmission rates by enabling quasi-species to purge parasites.
