Toward a New Theoretical Framework for Biology
To help us understand the nature of information processing in living systems, biology needs a new theoretical framework that is amenable to computational approaches. Recent progress in cell and molecular biology has made it clear that the “central dogma” (DNA RNA protein) is an overly simplistic concept. The goals of this paper are: 1) to specify which aspects of the central dogma are useful an...
متن کاملEvolutionary distributions: A theoretical framework
5 Adaptive traits are inherited with small mutations. They are sub6 ject to natural selection. An adaptive space is made of a set of adaptive 7 traits. Within this adaptive space live distributions of the density of 8 phenotypes. The dynamics of this density reflect evolution by natural 9 selection. We call these distributions Evolutionary Distributions (ED). 10 The adaptive space with its ED f...
متن کاملToward a stoichiometric framework for evolutionary biology
Ecological stoichiometry, the study of the balance of energy and materials in living systems, may serve as a useful synthetic framework for evolutionary biology. Here, we review recent work that illustrates the power of a stoichiometric approach to evolution across multiple scales, and then point to important open questions that may chart the way forward in this new field. At the molecular leve...
متن کاملA semiotic framework for evolutionary and developmental biology
This work aims at constructing a semiotic framework for an expanded evolutionary synthesis grounded on Peirce's universal categories and the six space/time/function relations [Taborsky, E., 2004. The nature of the sign as a WFF--a well-formed formula, SEED J. (Semiosis Evol. Energy Dev.) 4 (4), 5-14] that integrate the Lamarckian (internal/external) and Darwinian (individual/population) cuts. A...
متن کاملA theoretical framework of divorcing couples experience
Divorce is an event affecting couples, children, families, and community. Little is known about the perception of Iranian couples who intended to get divorced with regard to the process of decision making on divorce. The purpose of this study was to build a theory about the process that leads the couples to get divorced. The grounded theory in qualitative paradigm was used. Ten couples were int...
