Robustness and Evolvability in Living Systems

The exploration of genetic stability amidst the chaos of mutations is central to this book. It delves into how living organisms manage to thrive despite the inherent instability of DNA. Andreas Wagner examines the intricate relationships between DNA, RNA, proteins, and genetic networks, ultimately linking these elements to the evolutionary mechanisms that foster robustness in organisms. By addressing the paradox of survival and adaptability, the work provides a comprehensive understanding of how evolution shapes the resilience of life forms.
