Ligation of random oligomers leads to emergence of autocatalytic sequence network
Patrick W. Kudella, Alexei V. Tkachenko, Sergei Maslov +1
The emergence of longer information-carrying and functional nucleotide polymers from random short strands was a major stepping stone at the dawn of life. But the formation of those…

Cooperative ligation breaks sequence symmetry and stabilizes early molecular replication
Shoichi Toyabe, Dieter Braun
Each living species carries a complex DNA sequence that determines their unique features and functionalities. It is generally assumed that life started from a random pool of oligon…

Optothermal Molecule Trap
Stefan Duhr, Dieter Braun
Thermophoresis moves molecules along temperature gradients, typically from hot to cold. We superpose fluid flow with thermophoretic molecule flow under well defined microfluidic co…
