Familiar biological, chemical and physical events credibly evolve the Standard Genetic Code
The genetic code is profoundly shaped by an origin in ancient RNA-mediated interactions, needing an extended development to reach the Standard Genetic Code (SGC). That development can serially use RNA specificities, a ribonucleopeptide transition (RNPT), finally code escape and diaspora. An index of evolutionary plausibility based on least selection takes simultaneous account of speed and accuracy of evolution, identifying favored evolutions. Combining RNA world specificities allowed convergence of early coding to SGC assignments. Secondly, this was sufficient to launch a post-RNA-world RNPT. The RNPT allowed biosynthesis of complex amino acids, depending heavily on late code fusions between coexisting independent codes. Thirdly, escape from fluctuating, but highly-evolved codes of the RNPT applied a near-ideal selection for fastest-evolving and most accurate/useful genetic codes. Concurrently, a code and its microbial carrier suited to a free-living existence necessarily evolved. The established unity of life on Earth likely traces to SGC ascendancy during escape from the RNPT, and code diaspora.

Sequence Heterogeneity Accelerates Protein Search for Targets on DNA
The process of protein search for specific binding sites on DNA is fundamentally important since it marks the beginning of all major biological processes. We present a theoretical investigation that probes the role of DN…
Inter-sentence Relation Extraction for Associating Biological Context with Events in Biomedical Texts
We present an analysis of the problem of identifying biological context and associating it with biochemical events in biomedical texts. This constitutes a non-trivial, inter-sentential relation extraction task. We focus …

Learning by non-interfering feedback chemical signaling in physical networks
Both non-neural and neural biological systems can learn. So rather than focusing on purely brain-like learning, efforts are underway to study learning in physical systems. Such efforts include equilibrium propagation (EP…
