Abstract
Abstract This article uses a recently presented
abstract, tunable Boolean regulatory network model to
further explore aspects of mobile DNA, such as
transposons. The significant role of mobile DNA in the
evolution of natural systems is becoming increasingly
clear. This article shows how dynamically controlling
network node connectivity and function via
transposon-inspired mechanisms can be selected for to
significant degrees under coupled regulatory network
scenarios, including when such changes are heritable.
Simple multicellular and coevolutionary versions of the
model are considered.
