Detailed explanation-1: -An RNA enzyme has been developed that catalyzes the joining of oligonucleotide substrates to form additional copies of itself, undergoing self-replication with exponential growth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Self-replicating RNA (srRNA) as a vaccine and therapeutic modality has been increasingly used for the in situ production of proteins. srRNAs are derived from positive-strand RNA viruses where the structural proteins have been removed and replaced with heterologous genes of interest [1, 2, 3].
Detailed explanation-3: -Replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nowadays, DNA and RNA need the help of many proteins to copy themselves. If there ever was a self-replicator, it has long since disappeared.
