10. The New Genetics: Chapter 2: RNA and DNA Revealed: New Roles, New Rules - National Institute of General Medical Sciences
For many years, when scientists thought about heredity, DNA was the first thing to come to mind. It's true that DNA is the basic ingredient of our genes and, as such, it often steals the limelight from RNA, the other form of genetic material insid...
