RNAeining
RNAeining is a hypothetical biological process that proposes a mechanism for generating new RNA molecules with specific functions within a cell. The concept stems from the idea that RNA, beyond its well-established roles in protein synthesis and gene regulation, could also act as a template for its own synthesis or the synthesis of other RNA molecules. This self-replication or templated synthesis would be distinct from the DNA-templated transcription process observed in modern biology.
The theoretical basis for RNAeining suggests that certain RNA sequences could possess inherent catalytic activity, enabling
While direct experimental evidence for RNAeining as a widespread or active process in contemporary organisms is
