Below is the abstract: "In this article I outline a simple computer program used to perform experiments in molecular evolution. In particular, a program can be written to generate RNA sequences, introduce mutations, and allow users to observe the resultant folded RNA sequences and connections. The experiments provide a teaching tool allowing students, teachers, and researchers to follow the evolution of artificial RNA molecules of their own choosing in both a qualitative and quantitative fashion."
