• The Concept of Information in Biology (2000, background): “Godfrey-Smith (1999) imagines a world in which proteins play the same central role that they play in our world, but in which their amino acid sequence is replicated without coding.”
• The transmission sense of information (2008, background): “> 0, then we are not acknowleding the direction of information from genotype to phenotype (Godfrey-Smith, 2000b, 2008; Griffiths, 2001).”
• Representation in the genome and in other inheritance systems (2007, background): “If genetic representation were founded in there being a genetic code (eg, Wheeler 2003, forthcoming), then a system of inheritance by protein samples would not count as representational (Godfrey-Smith 2000a, 2002).”
• Evolutionary Psychology, Meet Developmental Neurobiology: Against Promiscuous Modularity (2000, background): “Genes, however, do nothing but code for the proteins that make up an organism’s body ( Godfrey-Smith, 1999, 2000 ).”
