VIRAL EDITORS OF HOST SYSTEMS. “The concept is that viruses are fully competent agents and editors of all host systems of instruction (DNA, RNA, epigenetic, translational etc.). Thus, they provide the host with new sources of instruction systems (not errors). In addition, they promote network formation by providing coherent societies (quasispecies populations) of agents able to edit host code content (and add new identity) in a diffuse, distributed manner, which promotes the creation of and editing of host regulatory networks.”
