Relaxed Substrate Specificity in Qβ Replicase through Long-Term In Vitro Evolution

A change from RNA- to DNA-based genetic systems is hypothesized as a major transition in the evolution of early life forms. One of the possible requirements for this transition is a change in the substrate specificity of the replication enzyme. It is largely unknown how such changes would have occur...
