# aevol\_propagate(1)

an in silico experimental evolution platform

## NAME

Aevol - an in silico experimental evolution platform

## SYNOPSIS

**aevol\_propagate -h** or **--help**\
 **aevol\_propagate -V** or **--version**\
 **aevol\_propagate \[-t *TIMESTEP*\] \[-K\] \[-o *OUTDIR*\] \[-v\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**Aevol** is a simulation platform that allows one to let populations of digital organisms evolve in different conditions and study experimentally the mechanisms responsible for the structuration of the genome and the transcriptome.

- **aevol\_propagate**

  creates a fresh copy of the experiment as it was at the given timestep. The timestep of the copy will be reset to 0.

## OPTIONS

- **-h, --help**

  print help, then exit

- **-V, --version**

  print version number, then exit

**-t, --timestep** *TIMESTEP*\
 specify timestep to propagate\
 default: that contained in file last\_gener.txt, if any

- **-K, --keep-prng-st**

  do not alter prng states

**-o, --out** *OUTDIR*\
 specify output directory\
 default "./output"

- **-v, --verbose**
