biological and non-biological realms. Will biology, including humans, benefit or suffer from …

[HTML][HTML] Novel apparatuses for incorporating natural selection processes into origins-of-life experiments to produce adaptively evolving chemical ecosystems

R Root-Bernstein, AW Brown - Life, 2022‏ - mdpi.com
Origins-of-life chemical experiments usually aim to produce specific chemical end-products
such as amino acids, nucleic acids or sugars. The resulting chemical systems do not evolve …

Genome evolution from random ligation of RNAs of autocatalytic sets

F Broecker - International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021‏ - mdpi.com
The evolutionary origin of the genome remains elusive. Here, I hypothesize that its first
iteration, the protogenome, was a multi-ribozyme RNA. It evolved, likely within liposomes …
