摘要
A novel type of autocatalytic growth, which is distinguishable from exponential growth and has implications for theories on the origin of life, is revealed by self-replication experiments based on nonenzymatic template-directed reactions of oligonucleotide derivatives. The sketch on the right shows the general mechanism of a minimal system for self-replication.
