Results from <strong>evolution</strong> experiments:<br />

• Replication <strong>of</strong> RNA molecules in vitro gives rise to exponential<br />

growth under suitable conditions.<br />

•Evolutionary optimization does not require cells and occurs as<br />

well in cell-free <strong>molecular</strong> systems.<br />

•In vitro <strong>evolution</strong> allows for production <strong>of</strong> molecules for<br />

predefined purposes and gave rise to a branch <strong>of</strong> biotechnology.
