Genomes contain relics of a triplet code connecting the origins of primordial RNA synthesis to the origins of genetically coded protein synthesis
2021-11-03
Abstract excerpt
Life on earth relies on three types of information polymers-DNA, RNA and proteins. In all organisms and viruses, these molecules are synthesized by the copying of pre-existing templates. A triplet-based code known as the genetic code guides the synthesis of proteins by complex enzymatic machines that decode genetic information in RNA sequences. The origin of the genetic code is one of the most fundamental question...
