Information theory, a mathematical science of communication initiated by Shannon in 1948, has been very successful in engineering, but biologists ignore it..This book aims at bridging this gap. It proposes an abstract definition of information based on the engineers‘ experience which makes it usable in life sciences. It expounds information theory and error-correcting codes, its by-products, as simply as possible. Then, the fundamental biological problem of heredity is examined. It is shown that biology does not adequately account for the conservation of genomes during geological ages, which can be understood only if it is assumed that genomes are made resilient to casual errors by proper coding. Moreover, the good conservation of very old parts of genomes, like the .HOX. genes, implies that the assumed genomic codes have a nested structure which makes an information the more resilient to errors, the older it is..The consequences that informatio | | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | | 关键词 | /HOX/ genes; Eror-correcting codes; Heredity; Information; Life; information and communication, circuits | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-7040-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-9335-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-7040-9 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014 |
