Massimo Di Giulio
Theories of the origin of the genetic code: Strong corroboration for the coevolution theory. Biosyst. 239 (2024)
Massimo Di Giulio
The polyphyletic origins of glycyl-tRNA synthetase and lysyl-tRNA synthetase and their implications. Biosyst. 244 (2024)
Massimo Di Giulio
The time of appearance of the genetic code. Biosyst. 237 (2024)
Massimo Di Giulio
The absence of the evolutionary state of the Prokaryote would imply a polyphyletic origin of proteins and that LUCA, the ancestor of bacteria and that of archaea were progenotes. Biosyst. 233 (2023)
Massimo Di Giulio
The error minimization of the genetic code would have been determined by natural selection and not by a neutral evolution. Biosyst. 224 (2023)
Massimo Di Giulio
Arguments against the stereochemical theory of the origin of the genetic code. Biosyst. 221 (2022)
Massimo Di Giulio
The origins of the cell membrane, the progenote, and the universal ancestor (LUCA). Biosyst. 222 (2022)
Massimo Di Giulio
The RNase P, LUCA, the ancestors of the life domains, the progenote, and the tree of life. Biosyst. 212 (2022)
Franco Caldararo, Massimo Di Giulio
The genetic code is very close to a global optimum in a model of its origin taking into account both the partition energy of amino acids and their biosynthetic relationships. Biosyst. 214 (2022)
Massimo Di Giulio
The evolutionary stages of the complexity of biological catalysts mark and clarify the phases of the origin of the genetic code: A model for the origin of the reading frame with codons from proto-mRNAs with different frames. Biosyst. 207 (2021)
Massimo Di Giulio
The late appearance of DNA, the nature of the LUCA and ancestors of the domains of life. Biosyst. 202 (2021)
Massimo Di Giulio
The phylogenetic distribution of the cell division system would not imply a cellular LUCA but a progenotic LUCA. Biosyst. 210 (2021)
Massimo Di Giulio
Errors of the ancestral translation, LUCA, and nature of its direct descendants. Biosyst. 206 (2021)
Massimo Di Giulio
LUCA as well as the ancestors of archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes were progenotes: Inference from the distribution and diversity of the reading mechanism of the AUA and AUG codons in the domains of life. Biosyst. 198 (2020)
Massimo Di Giulio
amidotransferase in the fundamental lineages would imply that the ancestor of archaea, that of eukaryotes and LUCA were progenotes. Biosyst. 196 (2020)
Massimo Di Giulio
The key role of the elongation factors in the origin of the organization of the genetic code. Biosyst. 181 (2019)
Massimo Di Giulio

Sacha Barion, Marco Franchi, Enzo Gallori, Massimo Di Giulio
The first lines of divergence in the Bacteria domain were the hyperthermophilic organisms, the Thermotogales and the Aquificales, and not the mesophilic Planctomycetales. Biosyst. 87 (1) (2007)
