Darwinian properties and their trade-offs in autocatalytic RNA reaction networks

Autocatalytic networks may have started evolution during the origin of life. Here, the authors establish a landscape of thousands of RNA networks by barcoded sequencing and microfluidics, and derive relationships between topology and Darwinian properties such as variation and differential reproducti...
