In Silico Evolution of Gene Cooption in Pattern-Forming Gene Networks

Figure 7

The dependence of evolvability (speed of evolutionary search) on the number of genes recruited to the initial population (the two obligatory genes). Results are shown for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 additional genes. Average evolvability (lower values indicate faster evolution) is plotted against the number of recruits in the matrix.
