GMR as a function of the distance between the two genomes. The distance was computed as the Euclidean distance between the matrix elements in two genomes, \(J^{(1)}_{ij}\) and \(J^{(2)}_{ij}\). All data were obtained from the evolved GRNs for the MR case shown in Fig. 5. We simulated GRNs with 20 genes, such that the number of matrix elements, that is, the maximal Hamming distance (i.e., the number of different elements), is \(20\times 20=400\). Consequently, the GMR (and the fitness) maintains a high value until half the elements have been changed. The average over 50 samples is plotted. The error bar represents the SD over them
