I find this one fascinating:

quote:

Jed Macosko-Single Gene Molecular Machines: Still Irreducibly Complex

A single gene molecular machine that is still IC? That seems hard to envision. Hemagglutinin hardly seems to qualify as an IC system.

Some references to the evolution of Hemagglutinin

Quasispecies structure and the antigenic evolution of Inﬂuenza A virus

quote:

These observations demonstrate that
HA is undergoing positive Darwinian selection for new antigenic variants [6].

The ISCID Forums are aimed at generating insight into the nature of complex systems (e.g. biological complexity, organizational complexity, etc.) and the ontological status of purpose, especially from the vantage point of various information- and design-theoretic models.
