His theory of biocommunication and Natural Genome Editing is the first theory that integrates all domains of life empirically in a non-reductionistic and non-mechanistic way, proving in all domains that every coordination within and between cells, tissues, organs and organisms depends on successful communication processes. Additionally Natural Genome Editing demonstrates that the genetic code is a natural language-like text that is edited by competent agents that infect, compete and cooperate within host genomes. These agents are viruses and related parasites which remain persistently as mobile genetic elements and RNA-networks that serve as essential tools in all regulatory processes of cells. 1983 Doctor of Philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich (Germany). First concept of a Theory of Communicative Nature in 1986 which he further developed into the Theory of Biocommunication and Natural Genome Editing in 2006. Adaptation to all domains of Life in a series of books he edited between 2010 und 2026 (bacteria, archaea, viruses, phages, ciliates, plants, fungi, animals, epigenetics, evolutionary theory). Organizer of various meetings between 2008 and 2022 on natural genome editing, viruses, RNA networks, evolution and epigenetics with leading experts in their fields. The Proceedings he edited where all published at the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"integrative-theory-of-evolution-aspects-and-insights-guenther-witzany-ebook","title":"Integrative Theory of Evolution - Aspects and Insights","description":"\u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
