Happy to share our new review on oligonucleotide chemical evolution on early Earth. We discuss how iterative sequence selection and diversification could have shaped RNA pools, facilitating sequence exploration and the emergence of ribozymes.

Selection–diversification interplay in oligonucleotide chemical evolution
The emergence of catalytic RNAs (ribozymes) may have set the stage for an “RNA world” preceding protein evolution. The probability of ribozyme emergen …

1/27 We have a new paper out! Turns out that snowflake yeast have been hiding a secret from us - they've evolved a (very!) crude circulatory system. Not with blood vessels or a heart, but through spontaneous fluid flows powered by their metabolism. 🧪🔬
