Life as a Guide to its Own Origins
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2023 The origin of life entails a continuum from simple prebiotic chemistry to cells with genes and molecular machines. Using life as a guide to this continuum, we consider how selection could promote increased complexity before the emergence of genes ...

Chirality and the Origin of Life [PDF]
Symmetry, 2021 The origin of life, based on the homochirality of biomolecules, is a persistent mystery. Did life begin by using both forms of chirality, and then one of the forms disappeared? Or did the choice of homochirality precede the formation of biomolecules that could ensure replication and information transfer?
