Genetic code origin and the strength of natural selection.

The Coevolution Theory of the Origin of the Genetic Code

M Di Giulio, 1999, Journal of molecular evolution.

The origin of the genetic code cannot be studied using measurements based on the PAM matrix because this matrix reflects the code itself, making any such analyses tautologous.

M Di Giulio, 2001, Journal of theoretical biology.

On the optimization of the physicochemical distances between amino acids in the evolution of the genetic code.

M. R. Capobianco, M. Di Giulio, M Di Giulio, 1994, Journal of theoretical biology.

Was it an ancient gene codifying for a hairpin RNA that, by means of direct duplication, gave rise to the primitive tRNA molecule?

M. Di Giulio, M Di Giulio, 1995, Journal of theoretical biology.

The extension reached by the minimization of the polarity distances during the evolution of the genetic code.
