We do not need powerful desktop computers in our lab, just single connection points in the cloud. Learn how to build a silent, energy-efficient, and dual display workspace.…
The Ontology for Avida project is developing an integrated vocabulary for the description of the most widely used computational approach for performing experimental evolution on digital organisms.…
Getting your bibliographic references from DOIs, appropriately formatted to the journal you are planning to submit your manuscript.…
You should create a persistent address for sharing files with your colleagues on the web when you are not sure about where they will be located in your server.…
Learn how to use Docker's container registry (Doker Hub) to find official images and host your own for public or private use.…

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.…
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 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.…
