Abstract
Gene Regulation and Self-Organization: Inspirations
from Genetic Programming in vivo
We present an agent-based, 3D model of the lactose
(lac) operon, a gene regulatory system in the bacterium
E. coli. The lac operon is a prime example of a _real
genetic programming_ system, which has been studied
extensively and lends itself to rigorous mathematical
analysis and computational simulations. We suggest
natural gene regulatory systems, as observed within E.
coli, to serve as testbeds for future in silico genetic
programming systems.
