Genome-Wide Insertional Mutagenesis of Arabidopsis thaliana (2003, background): “In an attempt to understand the origin and nature of life, 19th century scientists like Leduc and Herrera devoted themselves for several decades to the production of lifelike structures from various combinations of crystals and inorganic fluids, as part of the now largely forgotten fields of “synthe”
Why We Need a Generalized Darwinism, And Why Generalized Darwinism is Not Enough (2006, background): “Recently, for example, there has been acknowledgement of evolution on multiple levels and of complex interdependencies that undermine some previous (gene-centered) attempts at explanatory reduction (Hull, 1985; Depew and Weber, 1995; Keller, 2002).”
Industry 5.0—The Relevance and Implications of Bionics and Synthetic Biology (2016, background): “Code engineering in synthetic biology will lead to virtual, rapid, and often strange evolutions [5,6].”
