Climbing Darwin's ladder.

Current biology : CB - 1 Jan 1993

Abstract excerpt

The work of Bartel and Szostak, in which RNA molecules were selected to enhance the ability to catalyze a reaction similar to a step in protein-catalyzed RNA replication, is discussed. An important aspect of this experiment was the ability to reach a high level of functional organization in ten e...
