Bioverse: Potentially Observable Exoplanet Biosignature Patterns under the UV Threshold Hypothesis for the Origin of Life

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
A wide variety of scenarios for the origin of life have been proposed, with many influencing the prevalence and distribution of biosignatures across exoplanet populations.

Simple Ion–Gas Mixtures as a Source of Key Molecules Relevant to Prebiotic Chemistry

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Very simple chemistry can result in the rapid and high-yield production of key prebiotic inorganic molecules. The two reactions investigated here involve such simple systems, (a) carbon disulfide (CS2) and acetate (CH3COO¯) and (b) sulfur dioxide (SO2 ...

Opposing consensus science through scholarly practices: The role of claims maintenance

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 77, Issue 7, Page 891-906, July 2026.
Abstract This study examines how three US‐based communities who oppose consensus science produce and disseminate scholarly‐like artifacts: pro‐life activists, Young Earth Creationists, and Anthropogenic Climate Crisis skeptics. Prior research shows that industry‐ or church‐backed advocacy campaigns often generate claims supported by these communities ...

The Informational Substrate of Chemical Evolution: Implications for Abiogenesis

open access: yesLife, 2019
A key aspect of biological evolution is the capacity of living systems to process information, coded in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and used to direct how the cell works.

Molecular basis of Arginine and Lysine DNA sequence-dependent thermo-stability modulation.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2022
We have used a variety of theoretical and experimental techniques to study the role of four basic amino acids-Arginine, Lysine, Ornithine and L-2,4-Diaminobutyric acid-on the structure, flexibility and sequence-dependent stability of DNA.

Predicting Nitrogen Isotope Fractionation in Nitrate Deposition on Early Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Noachian and early Hesperian Mars were likely warm and wet, with an atmosphere abundant in molecular nitrogen. The recent discovery of nitrate deposits in the Yellowknife Bay mudstones at Gale Crater confirm the existence of nitrogen oxides (NOX) on Noachian Mars. The processes responsible for the production of these nitrates would fractionate

The Chemical Origin of Behavior is Rooted in Abiogenesis

open access: yesLife, 2012
We describe the initial realization of behavior in the biosphere, which we term behavioral chemistry. If molecules are complex enough to attain a stochastic element to their structural conformation in such as a way as to radically affect their function ...

Surface‐Driven Protocell Formation in Geologically Relevant Early Earth Environment

open access: yesChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.
Illustration of a prebiotic early‐Earth environment showing cell‐like protocells (blue spheres) and other complex organic molecules (pink and green spheres) distributed across terrestrial surfaces and within subsurface niches. Volcanic landscapes and mineral‐rich substrates provide diverse geochemical settings for the assembly and evolution of ...

Tricks of Nature From the Ancient Earth and Early Mars: Chemical Gardens Generate Biomorphs With High Preservation Potential

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 24, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Observations of morphology are commonly used to evaluate the biogenicity of terrestrial microfossils and could constitute a crucial line of evidence for extraterrestrial life‐detection missions in the future. However, evaluating the origin of morphological features in the rock record can be problematic because naturally occurring abiotic ...
