TL;DR
This paper introduces bit-string models for haploid asexual populations incorporating parasex, demonstrating that genome exchange enhances population size, genetic fitness, and diversity.
Contribution
The study develops novel bit-string models to analyze the effects of parasex in haploid populations, highlighting its benefits over traditional models.
Findings
Parasex improves population sizes
Parasex increases genetic diversity
Parasex enhances genetic fitness
Abstract
We present different bit-string models of haploid asexual populations in which individuals may exchange part of their genome with other individuals (parasex) according to a given probability. We study the advantages of this parasex concerning population sizes, genetic fitness and diversity. We find that the exchange of genomes always improves these features.
