In 2023, a highly controversial paper titled ‘Assembly theory explains and quantifies selection and evolution’ was released to the world.
In today’s episode, we’re chatting to one of the its authors, Lee Cronin, Regius Professor of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow and the Founder & CEO of Chemify, to discuss assembly theory and the motivation behind the paper, as well as key concepts such as the assembly index and the copy number.
This episode is part one of our two-part chat with Lee. Join us for the next episode, where Lee discusses the Nature paper.
