Wow, that sounds unpleasant. At least it's not a total mystery any more what's going on. I hope it resolves or your health people can sort it out.

How could a simple self-replicating system emerge at the origins of life? RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but existing ones are so large that their self-replication seems impossible. Could they be smaller?

Excited to share our latest work in @science.org on a new small polymerase.
