Fix for 3-billion-year-old genetic error could improve genetic sequencing Austin TX (SPX) Jun 28, 2016 - For 3 billion years, one of the major carriers of information needed for life, RNA, has had a glitch that creates errors when making copies of genetic information. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a fix that allows RNA to accurately proofread for the first time. The new discovery, published June 23 in the journal Science, will increase precision in genetic research ... more
