From decades, every biology student learns the same rule. “DNA makes RNA. RNA makes PROTEIN”
And DNA is always built using another DNA or RNA. "Always, No Exceptions."
Except, researchers has found that a defense system of bacteria can act against viruses can create DNA in a completely unexpected way. A protein named "Drt3b" appeared and tends to guide DNA formation without needing the base DNA or RNA.
This discovery will change everything, will reshape the understanding and mechanism of Genetics, Molecular biology ,and contributing to open new possibilities of gene editing, future therapies, medicines.
It is Fascinating, isn’t it ? How tiny little microorganisms still amusing us , and continuing to reveal secrets, mysteries in science.
