From Molecular Recognition to the “Vehicles” of Evolutionary Complexity: An Informational Approach

Countless informational proposals and models have explored the singular characteristics of biological systems: from the initial choice of information terms in the early days of molecular biology to the current bioinformatic avalanche in this “omic” era. However, this was conducted, most often, withi...
