Nobuto Takeuchi, Kunihiko Kaneko
The Central Dogma of molecular biology, as originally proposed by Crick, asserts that information passed into protein cannot flow back out. This principle has been interpreted as u…
A scaling law of multilevel evolution: how the balance between within- and among-collective evolution is determined
Nobuto Takeuchi, Namiko Mitarai, Kunihiko Kaneko
Numerous living systems are hierarchically organised, whereby replicating components are grouped into reproducing collectives -- e.g., organelles are grouped into cells, and cells…

Masahiko Ueda, Nobuto Takeuchi, Kunihiko Kaneko
Stronger selection implies faster evolution---that is, the greater the force, the faster the change. This apparently self-evident proposition, however, is derived under the assumpt…
