CYBERBIO. "For many biologists, the most basic processes characteristic of living organisms should now be understood in terms of the expression of information, the execution of programs, and the interpretation of codes." https://lnkd.in/espyFHA View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS the first weekend Fragment about information in biology, which is a central concept today, especially as biology and computers continue to converge, work side by side experimentally, and share a common language and even conceptual framework. View in LinkedIn

HEART OF CODE. "The differentiable characteristic of the living systems is Information. Information assures the controlled reproduction of all constituents, thereby ensuring conservation of viability." (M. Eigen).

UTILITY IS THE KEY. "Signals by themselves do not usually contain any meaning, i.e., supplying useful patterns, material or energy. Rather, meaning appears only when the agents involved in communication interpret the information." https://lnkd.in/eJc-Z-m View in LinkedIn

"BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION is a process of knowledge acquisition (cognition) and, correspondingly, of growth of complexity." https://lnkd.in/e-VqAeg View in LinkedIn

"GENES contain instructions, not descriptions." https://lnkd.in/eHPWXiJ View in LinkedIn

INFORMATION IN GENES. "The "sense of “genetic coding” is one of the best-established and least problematic ways of using informational concepts within biology." https://lnkd.in/espyFHA View in LinkedIn

GENETIC PROGRAM. "Genes contain a program, in a sense analogous to that in computer science." https://lnkd.in/eHPWXiJ View in LinkedIn

"DNA is a structure that codes biological information. That is not controversial." https://lnkd.in/e2H4YB4 View in LinkedIn

SYDNEY BRENNER, while at the Cambridge MRC Unit in 1961 discussed the primary assumption that DNA contains the genetic information for protein synthesis, as do other downstream molecules like mRNA and others. https://lnkd.in/eCSzcsG View in LinkedIn
