We review computational studies on prebiotic evolution, focusing on informatic processes in RNA-like replicator systems. In particular, we consider the following processes: the maintenance of information by replicators with and without interactions, the acquisition of information by replicators having a complex genotype-phenotype map, the generation of information by replicators having a complex genotype-phenotype-interaction map, and the storage of information by replicators serving as dedicated templates. Focusing on these informatic aspects, we review studies on quasi-species, error threshold, RNA-folding genotype-phenotype map, hypercycle, multilevel selection (including spatial self-organization, classical group selection, and compartmentalization), and the origin of DNA-like replicators. In conclusion, we pose a future question for theoretical studies on the origin of life.

RNA样复制系统的进化动力学：生命起源的生物信息学方法。


我们回顾了生命前进化的计算研究，重点关注类 RNA 复制系统中的信息过程。特别是，我们考虑以下过程：具有和不具有相互作用的复制子维护信息，具有复杂基因型-表型图谱的复制子获取信息，具有复杂基因型-表型-相互作用图的复制子生成信息，以及作为专用模板的复制器的信息存储。围绕这些信息方面，我们回顾了关于准物种、错误阈值、RNA折叠基因型-表型图、超循环、多级选择（包括空间自组织、经典群体选择和区室化）以及DNA起源的研究。就像复制机一样。总之，我们对生命起源的理论研究提出了一个未来的问题。
