The concept of hypercycles was proposed by M. Eigen and P. Schuster to study the origin-of-life problem. A hypercycle is a simple self-reproducing system modeling molecular evolution in the abiotic period. Typogenetics is a formal system of strings originally devised by D. Hofstadter to explain the connection between computation and molecular genetics. It was later established by H. Morris as a formal system to study artificial life. Evolutionary algorithms were used by Kvasnicka et al. to find a small hypercycle in typogenetics. We improve upon their algorithm and construct many hypercycles of large sizes. We also experimented with enzymes of different lengths and various mappings between enzymes and their functions.
