Evolution of biological information.
How do genetic systems gain information by evolutionary processes? Answering this question precisely requires a robust, quantitative measure of information. Fortunately, 50 years ago Claude Shannon defined information as a decrease in the uncertainty of a receiver. For molecular systems, uncertainty is closely related to entropy and hence has clear connections to the Second Law of Thermodynamic...
متن کاملEvolution and the Origin of Biological Information
Since the case for intelligent design as the best explanation for the origin of biological information necessary to build novel forms of life depends, in part, upon the claim that functional (informationrich) genes and proteins cannot be explained by random mutation and natural selection, this design hypothesis implies that selection and mutation will not suffice to produce genetic information ...
متن کاملThe complexities and evolution of the concepts of information and information behavior
Background and Aim: This paper reviews the two major concepts in the field of information behavior (IB), namely "information" and "information seeking." Method: Adocumentary research method and review of the literature were used. Results: The word information is the smallest particle and the most essential element in the area of information behavior. The second one is the phrase "information be...
متن کاملQuantum information and the problem of mechanisms of biological evolution
One of the most important conditions for replication in early evolution is the de facto elimination of the conformational degrees of freedom of the replicators, the mechanisms of which remain unclear. In addition, realistic evolutionary timescales can be established based only on partially directed evolution, further complicating this issue. A division of the various evolutionary theories into ...
متن کاملEvolution of Information and Complexity in an Ever-Expanding Universe
Using the usual definitions of information and entropy in quantum gravity and statistical mechanics and the existing views about the relation between information and complexity, we examine the evolution of complexity in an ever expanding universe.
