High-Resolution, Multidimensional Phylogenetic Metrics Identify Class I Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase Evolutionary Mosaicity and Inter-modular 'Coupling

C. W. Carter, A. Popinga, R. Bouckaert, P. Wills

The paper uses phylogenetic metrics to show that Class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases evolved from a mosaic of genetic sources with modular 'coupling' and identifies a protozyme as the root of the molecular tree.

Insuperable Problems Of The Genetic Code Initially Emerging In An RNA World

P. Wills, C. Carter

The paper develops differential equations to explore the emergence of genetic coding from an RNA world, suggesting self-organisation principles over Darwinian selection as key to the origin of molecular information processing.
