We have begun research into the implications of the supergene effect on the efficiency of evolutionary search. In particular, the applicability of the supergene effect to Genetic Programming (GP) is under investigation.}, conference = {Genetic Programming 1996}, isbn = {9780262611275}, pages = {427}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {MIT Press}, url = {http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2855110}, year = {1996}, author = {Holmes, Paul and Barclay, Peter J.} }
