From messy chemistry to ecology: autocatalysis and heritability in prebiotically plausible chemical systems
T Sokolskyi, BC Zuviria, S Gargulak, E Allen, D Baum - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
A key question in origins-of-life research, is whether heritability, and thus evolution, could
have preceded genes. While theoretical research has shown that out of equilibrium …
