On the Origin of DNA Genomes: Evolution of the Division of Labor between Template and Catalyst in Model Replicator Systems
Figure 8
The invasion of compartments containing only RpRNA and their eventual extinction, which happens repeatedly after the system reached evolutionary equilibrium in the compartment model.
The figure depicts the same simulation and in the same format as in Figure 7. The time is reset to zero at an arbitrary moment after the time in Figure 7E. For the explanation of each panel, see the main text.
