Functional information: Molecular messages

@DaytimePubSmell @ApoloJedi_ Shannon information is a red herring. The information in biological macromolecules is best viewed as functional, not Shannon, information. https://t.co/n9Y2DtCtEQ

In the Szostak scheme you can place a cutoff on what activity counts. And the fraction of molecules in sequence space that satisfy this cutoff can be specified. https://t.co/hm4MAa0BCl https://t.co/dju0G8c473

@AuthorPeterPike @worldviewdesign When biologists describe the genome as containing information, they usually don't have Shannon information in mind. Functional information, as defined by Szostak, is a better measure. https://t.co/n9Y2DtCtEQ

@Paleoguy073 @freemonotheist For a technical discussion of functional information in a biological context, you may consult: https://t.co/n9Y2DtCtEQ

@BryanGitschlag @JacksonWheat1 Functional information has been defined in the literature by Szostak et al.: https://t.co/n9Y2DtD1uo https://t.co/yua42fzady

@DanishDebater @NaturalHistoria Generating Shannon information is a very different thing than generating the functional information found in living cells. Check out these papers: https://t.co/n9Y2DtD1uo https://t.co/yua42fzady 2/2

DNA is not only an information, it is a functional information i.e., molecular messages. Nature https://t.co/e1l7Mzm0NX
