The Grayness of the Origin of Life. [PDF]
Life (Basel), 2021 In the search for life beyond Earth, distinguishing the living from the non-living is paramount. However, this distinction is often elusive, as the origin of life is likely a stepwise evolutionary process, not a singular event. Regardless of the favored origin of life model, an inherent “grayness” blurs the theorized threshold defining life.

Role of Stress in the Origin of Life. [PDF]
Life (Basel), 2022 The article shows the compatibility of the concept of thermodynamic inversion (TI) of the origin of life with the theory of stress in (micro)biology. According to the proposed TI concept, the first microorganisms on Earth were formed through an effective

Annual Review of Genetics, 1974 The origin of life is in a sense a genetic problem, for, as H. J. Muller pointed out many years ago, the essential attribute that identifies living matter is its capacity to replicate itself and its variants (1). Because this uniquely biological property has its physical basis in proteins and nucleic acids, the goal of modern work on the origin of life

Can the Timing of the Origin of Life Be Inferred from Trends in the Growth of Organismal Complexity? [PDF]
Life (Basel)The origin of life embodies two fundamental questions: how and when did life begin? It is commonly conjectured that life began on Earth around 4 billion years ago. This requires that the complex organization of RNA, DNA, triplet codon, protein, and lipid

Who Decides What Is Prebiotically Plausible? The Risks of Premature Constraints in Origin-of-Life Research. [PDF]
Life (Basel)The origin of life is the ultimate scientific puzzle. The leap in complexity from inanimate matter to even the simplest known organisms is overwhelming, and the transition from simple chemistry to life is best viewed as a long, directionless pathway. So,

Origin of life from a maker's perspective -- focus on protocellular compartments in bottom-up synthetic biology [PDF]
, 2022 The origin of life is shrouded in mystery, with few surviving clues, obscured by evolutionary competition. Previous reviews have touched on the complementary approaches of top-down and bottom-up synthetic biology to augment our understanding of living ...

The algorithmic origins of life [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2013 Although it has been notoriously difficult to pin down precisely what is it that makes life so distinctive and remarkable, there is general agreement that its informational aspect is one key property, perhaps the key property. The unique informational narrative of living systems suggests that life may be characterized by context-dependent causal ...
