[The Daily Galaxy - Great Discoveries Channel -Your Daily Dose of Awe: Science, Space, Tech] in a computer world called Avida, and replicate using strings of coded computer instructions instead of DNA, they are similar to real life microbes: they compete with each other for resources, replicate, mutate, and eventually evolve to become artificially intelligent life forms. Unlike real-life Darwinian microbes, their evolution can be stopped at any time, reversed, repeated, and the precise sequence of mutations that led to the new trait can be dissected.
