Dear readers,
I'm new to this b-board (and have only scraped the surface of this
topic) so bear this in mind (and forgive me for my transgressions).
I am interested in a theory regarding the origins of DNA from an RNA
precursor. Specifically, I'm wondering how such an experiment can be
recreated in an undergraduate biochemistry laboratory starting from a
single strand of RNA. Upto this point I have done little research on
this topic and am looking for a general procedure outline or a protocol
of some sort. I would also greatly appreciate any background/theoretical
information on this theory (is it just a theory?).
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Sreyas Srinivasan
PS- I'm currently an undergraduate (senior) at Carnegie-Mellon in
Pittsburgh and am asking with regard to my final lab project for this
semester.
