Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Heredity performs literal communication of immensely long genomes through immensely long time intervals. Genomes nevertheless incur sporadic errors referred to as mutations which have significant and often dramatic effects, after a time interval as… short as a human life. How can faithfulness at a very large timescale and unfaithfulness at a very short one be conciliated The engineering problem of literal communication has been completely solved during the second half of the XX-th century. Originating in 1948 from Claude Shannon's seminal work, information theory provided means to measure information quantities and proved that communication is possible through an unreliable channel (by means left unspecified) up to a sharp limit referred to as its capacity, beyond which communication becomes impossible. The quest for engineering means of reliable communication, named error-correcting codes, did not succeed in closely approaching capacity until 1993 when Claude Berrou and Alain Glavieuxinvented turbocodes. By now, the electronic devices which invaded our daily lives (e.g., CD, DVD, mobile phone, digital television) could not work without highly efficient error-correcting codes. Reliable communication through unreliable channels up to the limit of what is theoretically possible has become a practical reality: an outstanding achievement, however little publicized. As an engineering problem that nature solved aeons ago, heredity is relevant to information theory. The capacity of DNA is easily shown to vanish exponentially fast, which entails that error-correcting codes must be used to regenerate genomes so as to faithfully transmit the hereditary message. Moreover, assuming that such codes exist explains basic and conspicuous features of the living world, e.g., the existence of discrete species and their hierarchical taxonomy, the necessity of successive generations and even the trend of evolution towards increasingly complex beings. Providing geneticists with an introduction to information theory and error-correcting codes as necessary tools of hereditary communication is the primary goal of this book. Some biological consequences of their use are also discussed, and guesses about hypothesized genomic codes are presented. Another goal is prompting communication engineers to get interested in genetics and biology, thereby broadening their horizon far beyond the technological field, and learning from the most outstanding engineer: Nature.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Communication, one of the most important functions of life, occurs at any spatial scale from the molecular one up to that of populations and ecosystems, and any time scale from that of fast chemical reactions up to that of geological ages. Information the…ory, a mathematical science of communication initiated by Shannon in 1948, has been very successful in engineering, but biologists ignore it.This book aims at bridging this gap. It proposes an abstract definition of information based on the engineers' experience which makes it usable in life sciences. It expounds information theory and error-correcting codes, its by-products, as simply as possible. Then, the fundamental biological problem of heredity is examined. It is shown that biology does not adequately account for the conservation of genomes during geological ages, which can be understood only if it is assumed that genomes are made resilient to casual errors by proper coding. Moreover, the good conservation of very old parts of genomes, like the HOX genes, implies that the assumed genomic codes have a nested structure which makes an information the more resilient to errors, the older it is.The consequences that information theory draws from these hypotheses meet very basic but yet unexplained biological facts, e.g., the existence of successive generations, that of discrete species and the trend of evolution towards complexity. Being necessarily inscribed on physical media, information appears as a bridge between the abstract and the concrete. Recording, communicating and using information exclusively occur in the living world. Information is thus coextensive with life and delineates the border between the living and the inanimate.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ce livre vise à expliquer la vie à l'aide de la théorie de l'information et à convaincre les biologistes que cette science peut renouveler leur discipline. Il tente de la vulgariser en définissant ses notions de base de façon élémen…taire. Une information est abstraite, mais n'a d'existence objective qu'inscrite sur un support physique et peut être représentée par plusieurs messages équivalents, selon différents codes. Certains permettent de corriger des symboles erronés grâce à leur redondance. Dans le monde vivant, le message qui la représente, le génome, agit sur la matière. Certaines de ses parties, les gènes, commandent la synthèse de protéines selon une règle de correspondance appelée code génétique. Son support physique, l'ADN, subit inévitablement des erreurs, dont le nombre croîtrait avec le temps si le génome n'était régénéré à intervalles réguliers au moyen de codes redondants. La meilleure conservation de parties anciennes conduit à un schéma de codes emboîtés qui rend compte de nombreuses propriétés du vivant, constatées mais incomprises,: succession des générations, existence d'espèces discrètes, tendance de l'évolution vers une complexité accrue. 188 pp. Französisch.
