九州大学は、極限環境がリボ核酸(RNA)の前生物化学に与える影響を調査し、「アデノシン一リン酸」(AMP)がRNA鎖へ繋がる重合反応を起こす証拠は発見できず、逆に多様な有機化合物へ分解・再編成されることを発見したと発表した。

2019年にスタートした本連載「Innovative Tech」は、世界中の幅広い分野から最先端の研究論文を独自視点で厳選、解説する。執筆は研究論文メディア「Seamless」（シームレス）を主宰し、日課として数多くの論文に目を通す山下氏が担当。イラストや漫画は、同メディア所属のアーティスト・おね氏が手掛けている。X：＠shiropen2 英ケンブリッジ大学などに所属する研究者らがScience誌 ...
