Abstract
This paper extends a recent abstract tunable model of genomic structural change within the cell lifecycle and explores its use with simulated evolution A Boolean model of genetic regulatory networks has been presented to include changes in structure based upon the current cell state eg via transposable elements In this paper the underlying behaviour of the resulting dynamical networks is investigated before their evolvability is explored using single and multicelled models of fitness landscapes Structural dynamism is found to be selected for under numerous conditions within the two models
