CSim 20000614 – Simulation program for Somatic Cancer Evolution

CSim 20000614

:: DESCRIPTION

 CSim simulates the evolution of a cancer starting with one cancer cell which divides and acquires mutations through the process of unequal sister chromatid exchange. The simulation starts with one cell with one chromosome pair containing 16 genes each, four essential genes (E1 to E4), four neutral genes (N1 to N4), four oncogenes (O1 to O4) and four tumor suppressor genes (T1 to T4). The order of these genes on the chromosomes can be varied as well as the frequency of mutations, the maximum length of genes involved in USCE and the number of cell divisions.  The simulation only considers the end result of reciprocal USCE where one chromatid loses and the sister chromatid gains a contiguous stretch of genetic material.

Darwin Rocks 1.0.3 – Evolution of Music

Darwin Rocks 1.0.3

:: DESCRIPTION

Darwin Rocks let your favourite ringtone develop by evolution! In this game music develops from the musical primordial soup onwards. Due to random mutations each song sounds a bit different and each tune has offspring that sounds various. You decide which musical creature you like and thus you increase its chance of reproduction. The continuous process of listening and rating has a big impact on the direction of development. It will lead you to some very surprising results. This all happens although each single change is just accidental. This is the power of selection.

Contevol 1.01 – Continuous Character Evolution Teaching Program

Contevol 1.01

:: DESCRIPTION

Contevol is a simulation program designed for my class in Evolutionary Genetics. It allows the user to simulate the evolution of a quantitative character that is controlled by 5 loci, where there is a fitness function designed by the user. The user gets to see the distribution of the values of the quantitative character in a population, generation after generation. The genotypes that make up this distribution (or at any rate a representative sample of them) are displayed in the same histogram.

Biogenesis 0.8 – Simulate Evolution of Unicellular Organisms

Biogenesis 0.8

:: DESCRIPTION

Biogenesis simulates in a visual fashion the processes involved in the evolution of unicellular organisms at nature. It tries to be a didactic approximation to the ideas of mutation or evolution and can be enjoyed also as an entertainment. It’s intended to serve as a support to show students some basic biological facts.
