Emergence of life: from functional RNA selection to natural selection and beyond.
@article{Wong2014EmergenceOL, title={Emergence of life: from functional RNA selection to natural selection and beyond.}, author={J. Wong}, journal={Frontiers in bioscience}, year={2014}, volume={19}, pages={ 1117-50 } }
This study tracks the rise, evolution and post-evolution of the genetic information system through emergence of life. The major stages traversed include prebiotic synthesis, functional RNA selection by metabolite, RNA World, peptidated RNA world, co-evolution of genetic code and amino acid biosynthesis, last universal common ancestor, Darwinian evolution and synthetic life.
