In mathematics, a conformal map is a function that locally preserves angles, but not necessarily lengths. More formally, let U {\displaystyle U} and V...

Genetic programming (GP) is an evolutionary algorithm, an artificial intelligence technique mimicking natural evolution, which operates on a population...

Interactive genetic algorithms address this difficulty by outsourcing evaluation to external agents which are normally humans. The fitness function should...

Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. It is an important branch in biology because heredity is vital to organisms'...

and then the gene is mapped. Forward genetics can be thought of as a counter to reverse genetics, which determines the function of a gene by analyzing...

Genetic testing, also known as DNA testing, is used to identify changes in DNA sequence or chromosome structure. Genetic testing can also include measuring...

A distance transform, also known as distance map or distance field, is a derived representation of a digital image. The choice of the term depends on...
