Resistant Traits in Digital Organisms Do Not Revert Preselection Status despite Extended Deselection: Implications to Microbial Antibiotics Resistance
Figure 1
Gain of resistant traits under selective pressure. Panels (a) and (b) are results from TS, while Panels (c) and (d) are results from FPS. Panels (a) and (c) show the average () percentage of maximum fitness scores across 200 generations for the 4 different complexities of resistant traits, referred to as “target sequence,” from truncation selection and fitness-proportionate selection, respectively. For example, “target sequence = 5 × 0” refers to the simulation of 10 blocks of 5 zeros as resistant trait. Panels (b) and (d) show the average absolute fitness scores from truncation selection and fitness-proportionate selection, respectively.
