Introduction

What is aevol
aevol is:
Aevol is a digital genetics model: populations of digital organisms are
subjected to a process of selection and variation, which creates a
Darwinian dynamics.
By modifying the characteristics of selection (e.g. population size,
type of environment, environmental variations) or variation (e.g.
mutation rates, chromosomal rearrangement rates, types of
rearrangements, horizontal transfer), one can study experimentally the
impact of these parameters on the structure of the evolved organisms.
In particular, since Aevol integrates a precise and realistic model of
the genome, it allows for the study of structural variations of the
genome (e.g. number of genes, synteny, proportion of coding sequences).
The simulation platform comes along with a set of tools for analysing
phylogenies and measuring many characteristics of the organisms and
populations along evolution.
