Interesting DNA, RNA research you might have missed
There is much happening in genetics it’s hard to know where to start listing the highlights. Here are some of the more interesting items I’ve come across recently:
Did DNA replication evolve twice independently?
by Leipe DD, Aravind L, Koonin EV. in
Nucleic Acids Res. 1999 Sep 1;27(17):3389-401.
DNA replication is central to all extant cellular organisms.
principal proteins involved in transcription and translation, which are highly conserved in all divisions of life.
We performed detailed sequence comparisons of the proteins that fulfill indispensable functions in DNA replication and classified them.
