Sequencing the origins of life [PDF]
BBA Advances, 2022 One goal of origins of life research is to understand how primitive informational and catalytic biopolymers emerged and evolved. Recently, a number of sequencing techniques have been applied to analysis of replicating and evolving primitive biopolymer ...

Life’s Late Digital Revolution and Why It Matters for the Study of the Origins of Life [PDF]
Life, 2017 The information contained in life exists in two forms, analog and digital. Analog information is manifest mainly in the differing concentrations of chemicals that get passed from generation to generation and can vary from cell to cell.

Evolution at the Origins of Life? [PDF]
Life (Basel)The role of evolutionary theory at the origin of life is an extensively debated topic. The origin and early development of life is usually separated into a prebiotic phase and a protocellular phase, ultimately leading to the Last Universal Common ...

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 ...
