Abstract

No-bias binding: The abiotic template-directed synthesis of RNA could have been a key process in the origins of life on Earth. Recreating this process in the laboratory has been challenging, yet a combination of strategies has given rise to a synthesis that is both efficient and unbiased against any of the four nucleotides.
