The expressed areas of these genes are known as exons, whereas the ignored regions are introns. [1] defined introns in genetic programming as areas of code ...

In this paper we show for the first time that code growth can occur, albeit quite slowly, even in code that has a significant impact on fitness.

However, as introns build up the probability of a mutation having an effect decreases and the destructiveness of the FNSN mutations begins to decline. This ...
