Our computer cluster runs Kubernetes, an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Here https://t.co/lOOS1DqEBQ we provide a step-by-step guide to set it up, configure, run jobs in parallel, and monitor the execution flow

If you are a final year undergraduate or a master student, you have the opportunity to join us and design genomes using AI. Yet, instead of working with bacteria at a lab bench, you will work with digital organisms in a computational biology lab. The #JAEIntro2022 is now open!

Over the last 30 years, digital evolution has established itself as a valuable approach in biology, bridging experimental research with computational modelling. In this editorial https://t.co/8RQktLodLG, we summarize its main contributions to ecology and evolutionary biology

Today Miguel Fortuna @labfortuna from @ebdonana gave a great talk about phenotypic plasticity in digital organisms to the #CABD community!🧬Followed by an informal get together with the junior committee! Dr. Fortuna is being hosted by @fcasfer!A real connection from @CsicLifehub

[fortunalab @labfortuna]

Phenotypic plasticity pervades not only natural but also artificial evolving systems that mimic the developmental process of biological organisms, such as self-replicating and evolving computer programs (i.e., digital organisms) https://t.co/VEd3gJKnLQ

If you work on Windows and are interested in using Avida as a software platform to perform evolution experiment in silico, we have built a Docker image for you (https://t.co/KFMonO0nrU). It is already available at Docker Hub.

Sebastiano de Franciscis is an Italian physicist that has joined us (https://t.co/llOPInSVb9) as a postdoctoral researcher to expand the existing mathematical theory of coevolution in bacteria-phage interactions taking into account how novel genetic variation arises over time.

Congrats Raúl! avidaR https://t.co/RJ2B07V1gw, an R package to get genomic and transcriptomic data of self-replicating computer programs (known as digital organisms), is already available in the CRAN repository https://t.co/pzOitZrrys

[fortunalab @labfortuna]

We have created a pipeline for the R package avidaR which is launched every time we upload some changes to our GitLab remote repository (https://t.co/0PxrK114L1).

[fortunalab @labfortuna]

We have been awarded a @CSIC i-LINK grant to strengthen our collaboration with @LuisZaman, from @UMICHCS at @UMichEEB. It will expand our https://t.co/llOPInSVb9 and @ebdonana network of colleagues besides being part of the @CsicLifehub project.

We have developed the ontology for Avida digital evolution platform (https://t.co/60MqJmBWVr), and it has been accepted to be part of the @OBOFoundry (https://t.co/EVxHBXdEyF). It's our https://t.co/hz4VYht2fh first contribution in the field of semantic databases.

pyLODE is a python tool based on LODE that makes owl ontologies human-readable (https://t.co/Ybiu8uRUgJ). It converts an owl file into a html page where the IRIs, descriptions, domain and ranges of the classes, object properties, and datatype properties can be easily r

Biotechnologists Andrea Aguado and Elena Santos have joined us (https://t.co/hz4VYht2fh) as Master students to study the role of genome size on evolvability, and the repeatability of evolution, respectively, by performing experiments in a digital evolution computational platform.
