Game of Life with mutations and noise?

Does anybody know of any implementations of the game of Life
that introduce mutations, diseases, noise, colored cells, etc.?

It seems that with a few additional rules one can
develop evolving / fault-tolerant cellular automata,
and do lots of other interesting things, such as researching
attractors in automata state space and preparing for
nanotechnology that would produce physical automata
subjected to noise.

But maybe, these things have already been done?

If not, is anybody interested in collaboration?
