The non-genetic determinants in cancer evolution
When one lines up the genomes of related species, they vary in more than the protein-coding sequences. In fact, most differences fall outside these regions, given the small fraction they represent. Genomes differ with respect to sequences that regulate...

The evolution of self-consumption
To study the evolution of a body part or a trait, one needs to address two questions. First, what is the trait for? Second, how could it evolve by small steps that gave some advantage to the organism that carried them? It is also necessary to suggest a...

Cancer evolution by non-Darwinian mechanisms
In the Darwinian model of cancer evolution, the variations among cancer cells result in differential survival of some clones, which dominate the tumor mass. This view was challenged by discovering that tumors comprised multiple subclones that differ ge...
