Abstract: | Background The evolution of complexity is among the most important questions in biology. The evolution of complexity is often observed
as the increase of genetic information or that of the organizational complexity of a system. It is well recognized that the
formation of biological organization – be it of molecules or ecosystems – is ultimately instructed by the genetic information,
whereas it is also true that the genetic information is functional only in the context of the organization. Therefore, to
obtain a more complete picture of the evolution of complexity, we must study the evolution of both information and organization. |
