on the correlations between developmental diversity and genomic composition
In this work we target to measure genomic properties in EvoDevo systems as to predict phenotypic properties related to the emergence of artificial organisms. We propose a measurement, ? d, based on the composition of the genome, that can give prediction on how the emerging organism will develop. The experimental approach uses a minimalistic developmental model. The result show that the parameter ? d can predict phenotypic properties. The aim of introducing a parameter like ? d is to get more knowledge on the relation between genomic properties and phenotypic properties of developing organisms.
