Translation as a Biosignature

Astrobiology, 2023
AbstractLife on Earth relies on mechanisms to store heritable information and translate this information into cellular machinery required for biological activity. In all known life, storage, regulation, and translation are provided by DNA, RNA, and ribosomes.

Iron Isotope Biosignatures

Science, 1999
The 56 Fe/ 54 Fe of Fe-bearing phases precipitated in sedimentary environments varies by 2.5 per mil (δ 56 Fe values of +0.9 to −1.6 per mil). In contrast, the 56 Fe/ 54 Fe of Fe-bearing phases in igneous rocks from Earth

Molecular Biosignatures

Space Science Reviews, 2007
Life, as we know it, is based on carbon chemistry operating in an aqueous environment. Living organisms process chemicals, make copies of themselves, are autonomous and evolve in concert with the environment. All these characteristics are driven by, and operate through, carbon chemistry.

Biosignatures in Rocks

2011
The interplay between Geology and Biology has shaped the Earth from the early Precambrian, 4 billion years ago. Moving beyond the borders of the classical core disciplines, Geobiology strives to identify cause-and-effect chains and synergisms between the geo- and the biospheres that have been driving evolution of life in modern and ancient environments.
