Block diagram of the experimental setup.
Schemes of the RR (left) and RS (right) functions.
Effectiveness of SELEX tests in silico .
Effectiveness (number of evaluations) and success rate for the competitive BioRS by means of standard GA with a single-point crossover.
Effect of the recombination of segments.
Scheme of a local mutagenesis acting only on the last segment where the search for a new functional domain is performed at the current epoch.
For the BioRS GA the averaged time (in the average, the number of candidate string evaluations) to achieve the (n+1)th fitness level rises exponentially.
