The RNA World, satellite meeting of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology symposium, San Francisco, California, USA, May 15–16, 1999. Szewczak, A.A., Ortoleva-Donnelly ...

The RNA world hypothesis gains support from the in vitro evolution of a bifunctional ribozyme that can recognize an activated glutaminyl ester and subsequently aminoacylate a tRNA molecule.

Scientists in the 1960s, including Salk Fellow Leslie Orgel, proposed that life began with the "RNA World," a hypothetical era in which small, stringy RNA molecules ruled the early Earth and ...

An ancient RNA World is represented by RNA self-replication at the center of the spiral with the diversity of modern RNA and tools to investigate it represented at the near end of the spiral.

Now, in an important advance supporting this RNA World theory, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif., have carried out a small but essential part of the story.

Their discoveries have real-world implications, as Eterna crowdsources RNA designs, helping scientists better understand gene expression, disease prevention, and more. The NOVA RNA Lab supports ...

Okay, RNA is important. So what’s the problem? And how in the world can online gamers help solve it? It’s true that some RNAs are well understood, such as messenger RNAs that carry the genetic ...
