Dimensional Reduction in Evolving Spin-Glass Model: Correlation of Phenotypic Responses to Environmental and Mutational Changes
The evolution of high-dimensional phenotypes is investigated using a statistical physics model consisting of interacting spins, in which phenotypes, genotypes, and environments are represented by spin configurations, interaction matrices, and external fields, respectively. We found that phenotypic changes upon diverse environmental change and genetic variation are highly correlated across all …
