Quantitative analysis of mutation and selection in self-replicating RNA.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation and selection as principles of Darwinian evolution have contributed a wealth to qualitative insight and understanding of complex biological organizations. However, for quantitative measurements of Darwinian evolution, only model systems are sufficiently simple to allow calculation of values for the relevant evolution parameters. The model system used for our study comprises short-chained RNA species...
