"How evolution builds up complexity?: In vitro evolution approaches to witness complexification in artificial molecular replication systems"
【Significance】
No one has witnessed evolution of non-living matter into complex living organisms. In vitro evolution enables direct observation of how a molecular replication system builds up complexity through evolution. This review describes a brief history of in vitro molecular evolution and essential factors for emergence of complexity. Above all, our recent findings indicate that coevolution with molecular parasites is a key to allow a molecular replication system to undergo continuous evolution and diversification toward higher complexity.
