Large-Scale Evolution Simulations on PSC’s Neocortex Tackle Questions about Hypermutator Evolution

Large-Scale Evolution Simulations on PSC’s Neocortex Tackle Questions about Hypermutator Evolution

by Ken Chiacchia | Feb 5, 2025 | Neocortex, Science Highlights

In real life, mutants can arise when their DNA changes to give them an advantage over the rest of the population. A team from the University of Michigan used simulations on PSC’s Neocortex to find out why beneficial mutants rarely come to dominate real...
