“…A product gene is a standardized set of key product information that determines the product nature and that can be passed from parent products to offspring products. Several studies have focused on product genes (Gero and Kazakov, 1998;Gero, 2000;Feng et al, 2002;Luo et al, 2004;Chen et al, 2005aChen et al, , 2005bChen et al, , 2006Tai et al, 2007;Shang et al, 2009;Teng et al, 2010;Reich and Shai, 2012). Design genes associated with space layout planning problems were considered in Gero and Kazakov (1998); the results showed that gene evolution could induce partial decomposition of the layout problems and rapidly identify solutions.…”

Conceptual design is a key stage of product design and has received increasing attention in recent years. However, this stage is characterized by limited information, large uncertainty, and multidisciplinary aspects. Thus, increased workload and time cost are associated with conceptual design information acquisition; sometimes, it is difficult to develop novel solutions and the feasibility of the solutions obtained according to these limited and uncertain information is difficult to guarantee. Genetics-based design (GBD) is an effective approach to develop novel solutions and improve the reuse of knowledge, which is consistent with the goal of the conceptual design process. Product-gene acquisition is the premise and basis of GBD. At present, there are few reported studies in this area; most of the existing works are constrained by the structural aspects of the acquisition process, and there are limited studies on specific implementation techniques. To explore the specific implementation technologies of product-gene acquisition, an intelligent acquisition method based on K-means clustering and mutual information-based feature selection algorithm is proposed in this paper. The product genes defined in this paper are key product information that determines the nature of the product and influences the conceptual design process. Thus, solutions obtained according to them are more feasible than that based on limited and uncertain information. An illustrative example is presented. The results show that the proposed method can achieve intelligent acquisition of product genes to a certain extent. Further, the proposed method will allow designers to quickly search for the corresponding product genes when performing similar functional design tasks.

“…Finally, the concept of genes was raised before in this context but in an intuitive manner. In an attempt to improve deficient products, reverse engineering of these products to extract ''product genes''-referring merely to small product building blocks-and subsequently their improvement was advocated (Chen et al 2005). However, these product genes are not conceptual genes that transfer across disciplines; they do not have the properties that the genes of the IEKG have.…”

Parallel to the concept of the human genome and its impact on biology and other disciplines, we revealed a similar concept in engineering sciences, termed the ''Interdisciplinary Engineering Knowledge Genome'', which is an organized collection of system and method ''genes'' that encode instructions for generating new systems and methods in diverse engineering disciplines. Resting on the firm mathematical foundation of combinatorial representations, the Interdisciplinary Engineering Knowledge Genome unifies many engineering disciplines, providing a basis for transforming knowledge between them, supporting new educational practices, promoting inventions, aiding design, and bootstrapping new discoveries in engineering and science. Given the formal underlying combinatorial representations, these merits could be automated. This paper elucidates this new concept and demonstrates its value and power in engineering design.

“…As the driving force of economic growth, innovation has become an important determinant of the competitiveness of an organization, and the improvement of innovative capabilities needs to be preceded by scientific innovation methods [1][2][3]. With the rapid advancement of basic science research and science and technology, the continuous emergence of new disciplines and interdisciplinary disciplines has greatly promoted the theoretical research of innovation.…”

“…Researcher [7] analogized the evolution of technology and the principle of natural evolution, applying genetic principles to the evolutionary path of technology. Kell et al [1] combined the innovation process with the concept of biological evolution and used the theory of gene mutation and recombination to reveal the process of disruptive innovation. Wang et al [4] applied genetic engineering principles to the variant design of a stacker crane and proposed a genetic control mechanism for diversified product design innovations.…”

“…A comprehensive analysis of previous studies defines as; innovators have a good system of innovative qualities that can create new knowledge, technologies and products by breaking through the original theory, viewpoints, techniques and methods, and contributing to the progress of the society and the development of the times. Many researchers have shown that innovators have specific characteristics that differ from those of the general population and reported on these factors extensively [1,2,9]. However, few studies have considered these innovatorspecific factors as innovative genes for evaluating innovators.…”

While scientific theories such as genetic engineering and gene editing technology have an impact on the biological field, researchers have gradually been applied the theory of biological genetics to specific fields such as computers, knowledge innovation, and design innovation. Many researchers have shown that innovators have specific characteristics that differ from those of the general population and reported on these factors extensively. However, few studies have been reported to consider these innovator-specific factors as innovative genes and to evaluate innovators. In this study, these characteristics specific to the innovator were considered as the human social genes equivalent to human biological genes and the relevance between them was examined. As results, the biological genetic theory was integrated with the innovative theory and a theoretical model of innovative genetics was proposed based on the concepts of innovative genes and innovative chromosomes. Their roles were also pointed out in the innovative process, along with a model of innovation genes, innovative chromosomes, and innovative education that promote innovators' innovation.
