2040s: RNA formed the basis for life each of the five known times it arose on the early Earth.

RNA [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[In each panel, Cueball is standing in front of a poster. On the poster there is a picture of a double helix (presumably DNA) and some illegible text, although the poster is different in each panel. Each panel has a header indicating the decade in which it takes place.]

1960s [Cueball has a hand up in an explanatory pose] Cueball: Life is based on DNA, which uses RNA to make proteins do stuff.

1980s [Cueball faces towards the poster, with his hand on his chin.] Cueball: Also, the RNA does some stuff itself, which is weird.

2000s [Cueball has his arms raised in the air.] Cueball: There are so many types of RNA. It's doing so much stuff.

2020s [Cueball has both his hands down] Cueball: Life is a seething mass of RNA that sometimes uses DNA to take notes. Person out of frame: What do the proteins do? Cueball: Errands for RNA.

another doodle thing i did with my crayons ^^

How do you feel about aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase enzyme?

HOIUUOOUUOOUOHHH IM CATALYZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

please consider bookcil or onecil

Both kinda lol

Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission collected samples from asteroid Ryugu in 2019 and brought them back to Earth in 2020. Scientists later found all five chemical bases used in DNA and RNA inside them. That does not prove life existed on the asteroid, but it does support the idea that space rocks may have brought some of life’s basic ingredients to early Earth.

Scientists use RNA nanotechnology to program living cells, opening a new path for cancer cure

Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living huma

Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful cells. The findings, recently published in Nature Communications, represent a major breakthrough in biomedical research. The researchers are now in the midst of testing the technology on human cancer cells as a potential cure for the disease but have not yet finished the study or published results.

Had to quit studying and make this cause I couldn’t get it out of my head

[oxygendox]

I did RNA, just like DNA I make it similar, also their a bit shorter than DNA, they also have the clothes just like DNA's GCAT, but instead GUAC on the shirt instead.
