Our computer cluster runs Kubernetes, an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Here gitlab.com/fortunalab/kub… we provide a step-by-step guide to set it up, configure, run jobs in parallel, and monitor the execution flow

If you are a final year undergraduate or a master student, you have the opportunity to join us and design genomes using AI. Yet, instead of working with bacteria at a lab bench, you will work with digital organisms in a computational biology lab. The #JAEIntro2022 is now open!

Over the last 30 years, digital evolution has established itself as a valuable approach in biology, bridging experimental research with computational modelling. In this editorial doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2…, we summarize its main contributions to ecology and evolutionary biology

Today Miguel Fortuna fortunalab from Estación Biológica de Doñana - CSIC gave a great talk about phenotypic plasticity in digital organisms to the #CABD community!🧬Followed by an informal get together with the junior committee! Dr. Fortuna is being hosted by Fernando Casares!A real connection from LifeHUB.CSIC

Phenotypic plasticity pervades not only natural but also artificial evolving systems that mimic the developmental process of biological organisms, such as self-replicating and evolving computer programs (i.e., digital organisms) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

If you work on Windows and are interested in using Avida as a software platform to perform evolution experiment in silico, we have built a Docker image for you (blog.fortunalab.org/docker-avida). It is already available at Docker Hub.

Sebastiano de Franciscis is an Italian physicist that has joined us (fortunalab.org) as a postdoctoral researcher to expand the existing mathematical theory of coevolution in bacteria-phage interactions taking into account how novel genetic variation arises over time.

Congrats Raúl! avidaR gitlab.com/fortunalab/avi…, an R package to get genomic and transcriptomic data of self-replicating computer programs (known as digital organisms), is already available in the CRAN repository CRAN.R-project.org/package=avidaR

We have created a pipeline for the R package avidaR which is launched every time we upload some changes to our GitLab remote repository (blog.fortunalab.org/gitlab-pipeline).

We have been awarded a CSIC i-LINK grant to strengthen our collaboration with Luis Zaman, from UMICH - Center for the Study of Complex Systems at UMich Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. It will expand our fortunalab.org and Estación Biológica de Doñana - CSIC network of colleagues besides being part of the LifeHUB.CSIC project.

We have developed the ontology for Avida digital evolution platform (gitlab.com/fortunalab/ont…), and it has been accepted to be part of the OBO Foundry (obofoundry.org/ontology/ontoa…). It's our fortunalab.org first contribution in the field of semantic databases.

pyLODE is a python tool based on LODE that makes owl ontologies human-readable (blog.fortunalab.org/pylode). It converts an owl file into a html page where the IRIs, descriptions, domain and ranges of the classes, object properties, and datatype properties can be easily r

Biotechnologists Andrea Aguado and Elena Santos have joined us (fortunalab.org) as Master students to study the role of genome size on evolvability, and the repeatability of evolution, respectively, by performing experiments in a digital evolution computational platform.
