Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has made analyzing DNA faster and cheaper, with effects felt in the lab, clinic, and beyond. A set of newly-launched technologies are offering a twist on the chemistry ...

Scientists have created QT45, a 45-nucleotide RNA enzyme that can copy itself and its complementary strand in icy, salty conditions thought to resemble early Earth. The finding narrows a long-standing ...

Scientists have unveiled QT45, a 45-nucleotide RNA enzyme that can copy itself and its complementary strand in icy, salty conditions resembling those on early Earth. Its small size makes spontaneous ...
