Love this "Krishnamurthy added that scientists will never know exactly how life began (barring the invention of a time machine), but by considering circumstances of early evolution, scientists can gain insights into the fundamentals of biology."

Re: Hmm RNA and DNA arise in tandem?
Post #2The gist of the article seems to be that there could be no intermediate phase of RNA co-habitating with DNA because replication enzymes would recognize that as a copy error and fix it. It assumes these enzymes were fully up and operational during the transition phase.Excubis wrote: For those who like. Article: http://phys.org/news/2016-09-scientists ... -life.html
