The origin of a primordial genome through spontaneous symmetry breaking

The heredity of a cell is provided by a small number of non-catalytic templates—the genome. How did genomes originate? Here, we demonstrate the possibility that genome-like molecules arise from symmetry breaking between complementary strands of self-replicating molecules. Our model assumes a populat...
