This paper describes an immune system model based on binary strings. The purpose of the is to study pattern-recognition processes and learning that take place at both individual species levels in system. genetic algorithm (GA) a central component model. reports simulation experiments two problems are relevant natural systems. Finally, it reviews relation between explicit fitness-sharing techniques for algorithms, showing implements form implicit fitness sharing.

In typical applications, genetic algorithms (GAs) process populations of potential problem solutions to evolve a single population member that specifies an ‘optimized’ solution. The majority GA analysis has focused on these optimization applications. other applications (notably learning classifier systems and certain connectionist systems), searches for cooperative structures jointly perform computational task. This paper presents this type problem. considers simplified genetics-based...

The Gram-positive opportunistic pathogen Enterococcus faecalis is frequently responsible for nosocomial infections in humans and represents one of the most common bacteria isolated from recalcitrant endodontic (root canal) infections. E. intrinsically resistant to several antibiotics routinely used clinical settings (such as cephalosporins aminoglycosides) can acquire resistance vancomycin (vancomycin-resistant enterococci).

Enterococcus faecalis is an opportunistic pathogen with intrinsically high resistance to lysozyme, a key effector of the innate immune system. This level requires complex network transcriptional regulators and several genes (oatA, pgdA, dltA sigV) acting synergistically inhibit both enzymatic cationic antimicrobial peptide activities lysozyme. We sought identify novel modulating E. Random transposon mutagenesis carried out in quadruple oatA/pgdA/dltA/sigV mutant led identification...

The 3'-terminal regions (20 to 32 residues) of the genome double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) segments cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus were sequenced. dsRNAs, which labeled at their 3' termini by incubation with [5'-(32)P]pCp and T4 ligase, denatured resolved into plus minus strands agarose-urea gel electrophoresis. Ten single-stranded RNAs thus obtained from five dsRNA IV, V, VIII, IX, X sequenced postlabeling methods. Common sequences, -GUUAGCC -UUACU, found in strands, respectively, all segments....
