An RNA Condensate Model For The Origin Of Life - Astrobiology

The RNA World hypothesis predicts that self-replicating RNAs evolved before DNA genomes and coded proteins. Despite widespread support for the RNA World, self-replicating RNAs have yet to be identified in a natural context, leaving a key ‘missing link’ for this explanation of the origin of life. Inspired by recent work showing that condensates of charged […] The post An RNA Condensate Model For The Origin Of Life appeared first on Astrobiology.
