The Darwinian would say, "Gene dissemination: Successful competition in the hunt allows the fox to survive and breed, maximizing its individual representation of genes in the population. That's how natural selection works." The ecological biologist would say, "Sure, but first and foremost, the fox is eating the quail to stay alive. It's a cross-species energy transaction between two individual members of a tightly integrated ecosystem. As a result, the fox survives and manages to pass genes o
Surpassing the Law of Averages

By Jeffrey M. Perkel Surpassing the Law of Averages How to expose the behaviors of genes, RNA, proteins, and metabolites in single cells. By necessity or convenience, almost everything we know about biochemistry and molecular biology derives from bulk behavior: From gene regulation to Michaelis-Menten kinetics, we understand biology in terms of what the “average” cell in a population does. But, as Jonathan Weissman of the University of Califo
