Understanding the earliest chemical reactions and molecules involved in the first living cells is a long standing question in biology. Early life is thought to have used RNA as its genetic material as well as its enzymes. Therefore, it is important to understand how RNA molecules could have facilitated the emergence of the first self-replicating cells. This project addresses this fundamental question by building…
