Zenodo is a general-purpose open-access repository that assign a persistent digital object identifier (DOI) to any research digital material. We show how to create a release of a repository stored in GitHub and upload it into Zenodo.…

Setting up host-parasite coevolutionary experiments in Avida.

Miguel A. Fortuna on Our research, Our computational toolbox | 27 Apr 2020

Digital coevolution between hosts and parasites resembles the coevolutionary dynamics among bacteria and phages. By following this tutorial you will be able to set up and run coevolutionary experiments in Avida (i.e., the most widely-used software platform for studying evolution in action).…

Digital evolution: Avida as a software platform for studying evolution in action.

Miguel A. Fortuna on Our research, Our computational toolbox | 20 Apr 2020

Digital evolution is a form of evolutionary computation in which self-replicating computer programs—digital organisms—evolve within a user-defined computational environment. Avida is the most widely used software platform for research in digital evolution.…
