Template switching in DNA replication can create and maintain RNA hairpins

Abstract: The evolutionary origin of ribonucleic acid (RNA) stem structures and the preservation of their base-pairing under a spontaneous and random mutation process have puzzled theoretical evolutionary biologists. DNA replication-related template switching is a mutation mechanism that creates reverse-complement copies of sequence regions within a genome by replicating briefly either along the complementary or nascent DNA strand. Depending on the relative positions and context of the four switch points, this p… Show more
