Broad-MIT Seminars in Chemical Biology: Phil Holliger

Broad Institute

Although this ancestral replicase appears to have been lost, key aspects of RNA-catalyzed RNA replication can be studied by proxy with the use of modern RNA enzymes (ribozymes) generated by in vitro evolution. However, none of these RPRs was capable of self-replication.

A Brief History of GFP

Codon

Each cell contains messenger RNA (mRNA) that carries instructions for making proteins, so Prasher first extracted mRNA from Aequorea and converted it into complementary DNA (cDNA). elegans , had become fascinated with GFP as a biological marker after learning about it at a seminar.
