The evolutionary dynamics of metabolic protocells.

Protocell multilevel selection models have been proposed to study the evolutionary dynamics of vesicles encapsulating a set of replicating, competing and mutating sequences.The frequency of the different sequence types determines protocell survival Inserts through a fitness function.One of the defining features of these models is the genetic load g
