Comparing genome initializations in the asexual Penna model

The asexual Penna model, a Monte Carlo method on biological aging, has been implemented with varying population initialization methods by different authors. These methods implicitly assume that differing initializations lead to equivalent final states. However, considering these initialization methods represent distinct initial conditions, this assumption may not universally hold. This study examines two initialization methods: initialization with purely healthy genomes, and initialization with genomes containing randomly distributed harmful genes.
