The Origin of Life: Models and Data. [PDF]
, 2017 A general framework for conventional models of the origin of life (OOL) is the specification of a 'privileged function.' A privileged function is an extant biological function that is excised from its biological context, elevated in importance over other

Applications of phage-derived RNA-based technologies in synthetic biology
Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2020 As the most abundant biological entities with incredible diversity, bacteriophages (also known as phages) have been recognized as an important source of molecular machines for the development of genetic-engineering tools.

Primordial soup or vinaigrette: did the RNA world evolve at acidic pH?
Biology Direct, 2012 Background The RNA world concept has wide, though certainly not unanimous, support within the origin-of-life scientific community. One view is that life may have emerged as early as the Hadean Eon 4.3-3.8 billion years ago with an atmosphere of high CO2 ...

Comparative analysis of RNA families reveals distinct repertoires for each domain of life.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2012 The RNA world hypothesis, that RNA genomes and catalysts preceded DNA genomes and genetically-encoded protein catalysts, has been central to models for the early evolution of life on Earth.
