Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a computer program, and more particularly, to a method for the quantitative analysis of the evolution of the robustness of RNA structures. Background technique
[0002] Biological robustness is one of the most basic and ubiquitous phenomena in biological systems. It is understood as the ability to maintain a stable function in the face of various disturbances. Depending on the nature of the disturbance (heritable or not), robustness can be divided into genetic robustness and environmental robustness. Genetic robustness refers to the insensitivity of phenotype in the face of genetic mutation interference; while environmental robustness refers to the insensitivity of phenotype in the face of interference from external environmental factors. For a long time, biologists have paid great attention to the study of biological robustness, from Fisher's dominant study to Waddington's developmental homeostasis study. Research h...
