Emergence and diversification of a host-parasite RNA ecosystem through Darwinian evolution

Emergence and diversification of a host-parasite RNA ecosystem through Darwinian evolution

In prebiotic evolution, molecular self-replicators are considered to develop into diverse, complex living organisms. The appearance of parasitic replicators is believed inevitable in this process. However, the role of parasitic replicators in prebiotic evolution remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate...
