.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Aevol
is a simulation platform that allows one to let populations of digital organisms evolve in different conditions and study experimentally the mechanisms responsible for the structuration of the genome and the transcriptome.
.TP
.B aevol_propagate
creates a fresh copy of the experiment as it was at the given timestep. The timestep of the copy will be reset to 0.
