Self-replication is any behavior of a dynamical system that yields construction of an identical or similar copy of itself. Biological cells, given suitable environments, reproduce by cell division. During cell division, DNA is replicated and can be transmitted to offspring during reproduction. Biological viruses can replicate, but only by commandeering the reproductive machinery of cells through a process of infection. Harmful prion proteins can replicate by converting normal proteins into rogue forms. Computer viruses reproduce using the hardware and software already present on computers. Self-replication in robotics has been an area of research and a subject of interest in science fiction. Any self-replicating mechanism which does not make a perfect copy (mutation) will experience genetic variation and will create variants of itself. These variants will be subject to natural selection, since some will be better at surviving in their current environment than others and will out-breed them.

Exceptions to this pattern may be possible, although none have yet been achieved. For example, scientists have come close to constructing [https://arstechnica.com/science/2011/04/investigations-into-the-ancient-rna-world/ RNA that can be copied] in an "environment" that is a solution of RNA monomers and transcriptase.

A more trivial approach is to write a program that will make a copy of any stream of data that it is directed to, and then direct it at itself. In this case the program is treated as both executable code, and as data to be manipulated. This approach is common in most self-replicating systems, including biological life, and is simpler as it does not require the program to contain a complete description of itself.

In 2012, [[Lee Sallows]] identified rep-tiles as a special instance of a [[self-tiling tile set]] or setiset. A setiset of order ''n'' is a set of ''n'' shapes that can be assembled in ''n'' different ways so as to form larger replicas of themselves. Setisets in which every shape is distinct are called 'perfect'. A rep-''n'' rep-tile is just a setiset composed of ''n'' identical pieces.

One form of natural self-replication that isn't based on DNA or RNA occurs in clay crystals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160823-the-idea-that-life-began-as-clay-crystals-is-50-years-old |title=The idea that life began as clay crystals is 50 years old |publisher=bbc.com |date=2016-08-24 |accessdate=2019-11-10}}</ref> Clay consists of a large number of small crystals, and clay is an environment that promotes crystal growth. Crystals consist of a regular lattice of atoms and are able to grow if e.g. placed in a water solution containing the crystal components; automatically arranging atoms at the crystal boundary into the crystalline form. Crystals may have irregularities where the regular atomic structure is broken, and when crystals grow, these irregularities may propagate, creating a form of self-replication of crystal irregularities. Because these irregularities may affect the probability of a crystal breaking apart to form new crystals, crystals with such irregularities could even be considered to undergo evolutionary development.

粘土晶体中存在一种不基于 DNA 或 RNA 的天然自复制。粘土由大量的小晶体组成，粘土是促进晶体生长的环境。晶体是由规则的原子晶格组成的，将其放置在含有晶体成分的水溶液中能够生长，并自动地将晶体边界上的原子排列成晶体形式。当正常的原子结构被破坏时，晶体可能具有不规则性，当晶体生长时，这些不规则性可能会传播，形成一种晶体不规则性的自我复制。由于这些不规则结构可能会影响晶体分裂形成新晶体的概率，因此这种不规则结构的晶体甚至可以被认为是在进化过程中形成的。

It is a long-term goal of some engineering sciences to achieve a [[clanking replicator]], a material device that can self-replicate. The usual reason is to achieve a low cost per item while retaining the utility of a manufactured good. Many authorities say that in the limit, the cost of self-replicating items should approach the cost-per-weight of wood or other biological substances, because self-replication avoids the costs of [[labour (economics)|labor]], [[Capital (economics)|capital]] and [[distribution (business)|distribution]] in conventional [[factory|manufactured goods]].

一些工程科学的长期目标是制造出一种可以自复制的铿锵复制机（clanking replicator）。通常的原因是为了在保证产品的功效的同时降低每件商品的成本。许多权威人士表示，自复制产品的成本应该能逼近木材或其他生物材质的单位重量成本，因为自我复制不需要传统工业产品所需的劳动力、资本和分销成本。

美国宇航局最近的一项研究表明，铿锵复制机的复杂度大约相当于英特尔奔腾4处理器的复杂度。也就是说，这项技术在一个合理的商业时间规模内，是可以由一个相对较小的工程团队以一个合理的成本实现的。
Given the currently keen interest in biotechnology and the high levels of funding in that field, attempts to exploit the replicative ability of existing cells are timely, and may easily lead to significant insights and advances.

A variation of self replication is of practical relevance in compiler construction, where a similar bootstrapping problem occurs as in natural self replication. A compiler (phenotype) can be applied on the compiler's own source code (genotype) producing the compiler itself. During compiler development, a modified (mutated) source is used to create the next generation of the compiler. This process differs from natural self-replication in that the process is directed by an engineer, not by the subject itself.

自复制的一种变体在编译器构造中具有实际意义，在天然自复制中也会出现类似的自我改进现象。编译器(表现型)可以应用于编译器自身的源代码(基因型) ，从而产生编译器本身。在编译器开发过程中，一般使用修改(变异)的源代码来创建下一代编译器。这个过程不同于天然的自我复制，因为这个过程是由工程师指导的，而不是复制机本身。
