Discovering Biological Conflict Systems Through Genome Analysis: Evolutionary Principles and Biochemical Novelty
24 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
Biological replicators, from genes within a genome to whole organisms, are locked in conflicts. Comparative genomics has revealed a staggering diversity of molecular armaments and mechanisms regulating their deployment, collectively termed biological conflict systems. These encompass toxins used in inter- and intraspecific interactions, self/nonself discrimination, antiviral immune mechanisms, and counter-host...
