Abstract

In this work we target to measure genomic properties in EvoDevo systems as to predict phenotypic properties related to the emergence of artificial organisms. We propose a measurement, λ d, based on the composition of the genome, that can give prediction on how the emerging organism will develop. The experimental approach uses a minimalistic developmental model. The result show that the parameter λ d can predict phenotypic properties. The aim of introducing a parameter like λ d is to get more knowledge on the relation between genomic properties and phenotypic properties of developing organisms.
