Abstract
Most simulations of biological evolution depend on a rather restricted set of properties. In this paper a richer model, based on differential gene expression is introduced to control developmental processes in an artificial evolutionary system. Differential gene expression is used to get different cell types and to modulate cell division and cell death. One of the advantages using developmental processes in evolutionary systems is the reduction of the information needed in the genome to encode e.g. shapes or cell types which results in better scaling behavior of the system. My result showed that the shaping of multicellular organisms in 3d is possible with the proposed system.
