Abstract
Flipons are sequences capable of forming either right- or left-handed DNA under physiological conditions, forming a class of dissipative structures that trade metabolic energy for information by cycling DNA between different chromatin states. Flipons enhance the diversity of transcriptomes, increasing entropy while enabling the evolution of features both new and unexpected.Keywords: Z-DNA Z-RNA; dissipative structure; entropy; evolution; flipon; genetic code
