How does evolution tune biological noise?
Part of molecular and phenotypic differences between individual cells, between body parts, or between individuals can result from biological noise. This source of variation is becoming more and more apparent thanks to the recent advances in dynamic imaging and single-cell analysis. Some of these studies showed that the link between genotype and phenotype is not strictly deterministic. Mutations...
متن کاملHow noise determines the evolution of communication
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2016.07.014 0003-3472/© 2016 The Association for the Study of A This essay focuses on a dozen predictions from a previous analysis of the evolution of communication in the presence of noise. First of all, (1) noise creates an unavoidable trade-off between two kinds of error by receivers. Furthermore, (2) a receiver's optimal criterion for response depends on ...

Every cell’s genome contains two main classes of functional DNA. The best understood type of DNA sequence, which was also the first to be discovered, is that which encodes RNA and protein products via the near-universal “genetic code” (1). A more mysterious but equally important class of functional DNA is cisregulatory sequence, which does not have a physical product but, instead, encodes the c...
متن کاملHow does Complexity Arise in Evolution
Information in biology has a quality that distinguishes it from information in chemistry and physics. It comes in encoded form and it is processed in a way that is closely related to information technology and computer science. Biological information is essentially stored in genotypes and transferred to future generation through inheritance, and less directly through epigenetic processes. Cellu...
متن کاملHow does noise influence the estimation of speed?
Local motion signals have to be combined in space and time, to yield a coherent motion percept as it is involved in a variety of visual tasks. This combination necessarily means to trade-off between loosing spatio-temporal resolution by pooling local signals and maintaining perceptually significant segmentation between them. When signals are pooled to detect the presence of coherent motion in l...
