RNA strand that can almost self-replicate may be key to life's origins
Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The RNA world theory suggests that life on Earth began with RNA molecules that copied themselves. It’s believed this self-replication eventually gave rise over millions of years to DNA ...
The 2018 Lasker–Koshland Special Achievement Award in Medical Science, announced September 11, recognizes Joan A. Steitz, who has made pioneering contributions to the understanding of RNA biology and, ...
