New Mutation Paradigm

<< < (5/5)

Zelos:
wouldnt it be possible to make it so that the program code down commands and variables and values into a sequans of 1/0 or a/t/c/g (for more dna like) and then change a random base pair or 1/0 to something and then recode it so it becomes understandeble for the program when it reads it?

or maybe even make so that the program decode it into this system and read from it all the time and change it and then when we use something like "save dna" it decode it so we understand it.

Numsgil:
The DNA is already parsed into a type-value block, which is in many regards identical to binary or quadrary representation.

Which is my fancy way of saying that DNA is already stored as strings of bits (ie: numbers), and then unparsed when you look at it again.

Botsareus:
As you can see the system being talked about is flowless , it includes everything and anything, I espasialy like the idea of sections of dna being duplicated. A few qustions about that:

*That includes conditions too right?

*Can Dna from one gene be duplicated into another gene? (I currently modified my DB to do that for conditions, hopeing that it will produce better flow between genes.)


I am gessing there is a way to create empty genes and then fill them up too right? (simuler to split gene)

Numsgil:
New mutations aren't respectful of gene boundaries, so yes, conditions, parts of genes, whole genes, all depending on your settings.

The weakness of the current system is it tries to be too smart.  The new system just treats the DNA as a solid string of stuff that can get fiddled with without worrying about what's where.

Basically, it's like making the DNA a bunch of building blocks and giving them to a baby to play with.  Much less inteligent design.
