2005
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

In this paper, we review some relevant ideas about evolvability from the biological literature. We examine the role of robustness and modularity in evolution, and their relation with evolvability. ...
A key question then is: what makes a network architecture evolvable? What determines the ability of a network architecture to evolve as its environment changes? ...

Functionality and metagraph disintegration in boolean networks
2011
Journal of Theoretical Biology
We find that the number of networks which generate a function decreases approximately exponentially with its complexity T and show there is a corresponding weakening of the robustness of those networks ...
Finally we extend our analysis to functions with more exotic topologies in expression space, including "stars" and "trees". ...
This lead to the suggestions (i) that through gradual topological changes (point mutations) any viable network could evolve towards greater robustness (Ciliberti et al., 2007a) and (ii) that gene circuits ...

Mechanisms and constraints shaping the evolution of body plan segmentation
2013
The European Physical Journal E : Soft matter
The model contains an evolving population of individuals, with each individual having a gene regulatory network as its genotype (A). ...
In contrast, few animals such as Drosophila use a complex gene regulatory hierarchy to simultaneously subdivide their entire body axis into segments. ...
By subsequently varying for example developmental and gene expression noise, or fitness criterium we can also determine how these outcomes differ in robustness or future evolutionary potential. ...

Emergent biases in compensatory mutation can drive gene regulatory network evolution

2019
bioRxiv
pre-print
Using a well-established in silico model of gene regulatory networks, we show that compensatory mutation can drive the evolution of regulatory pathways because it biases the response to natural selection ...
In our simulations, we find that compensatory mutation is common during periods of relaxed selection, with 8-15% of degraded networks having regulatory function restored by a single randomly-generated ...

We investigate how scale-free (SF) and Erdos-Renyi (ER) topologies affect the interplay between evolvability and robustness of model gene regulatory networks with Boolean threshold dynamics. ...

Robustness and evolvability in genetic regulatory networks

Journal of Theoretical Biology
The above is true in a variety of network topologies and even for the case of extreme divergence in which the duplicate gene bears almost no relation with its parent. ...
Here we address this problem by studying the robustness and evolvability of the attractor landscape of genetic regulatory network models under the process of gene duplication followed by divergence. ...

In SilicoEvolution of Gene Cooption in Pattern-Forming Gene Networks
2012
The Scientific World Journal
We compare two mechanisms of gene cooption: a simpler one with gene Introduction and Withdrawal operators; and one in which GRN elements can be altered by transposon infection. ...
Gene recruitment or cooption occurs when a gene, which may be part of an existing gene regulatory network (GRN), comes under the control of a new regulatory system. ...
We can also study how the 4-gene network may have evolved; for example, by starting with 2gene models, we can study how these might have recruited genes into the current network. ...
