MOLECULAR EXTINCTION. “All trials end when no molecules exist in the system. This occurs when there is a catastrophic decline in replicating molecules. The common cause of this is when a new ‘parasitic’ molecule arises that is 1) incapable of replicating itself, and 2) copied by the incumbent replicase at a higher rate than the replicase.”
