The evolution of strand preference in simulated RNA replicators with strand displacement: Implications for the origin of transcription

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The simplest conceivable example of evolving systems is RNA molecules that can replicate themselves. Since replication produces a new RNA strand complementary to a template, all templates would eventually become double-stranded and,...
