The prebiotic evolutionary advantage of transferring genetic information from RNA to DNA
In the early ‘RNA world’ stage of life, RNA stored genetic information and catalyzed chemical reactions. However, the RNA world eventually gave rise to the DNA–RNA–protein world, and this transition included the ‘genetic takeover’ of information storage by DNA. We investigated evolutionary advantage...
