All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

public final class RootGene

extends FunctionGene

Gene that GpTreeChromosome uses as its root gene: it passes through a type. This is needed to allow mutation and crossover of the root.

public only to allow serialization etc. This is not a class to be used outside this package.
