Abstract :
This paper presents the application of research in evolutionary artificial developmental systems to the study of complex and organized asymmetry development in embryology systems, mainly as a tool to understand and analyze developmental processes in biology. LRA is presented as an organized level of developmental stage in reference to the 2 basic types of asymmetry presented by all developing embryos (anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral). Our left/right asymmetry (LRA) experiments are used to introduce a self-developing strategy to analyse the correlation between our models and the underlying biological processes. Conclusions are presented on how our results support and help understand a more complex stage on the modeling of developmental systems, both in computational and biological models.
