Template-Directed Replication and Chiral Resolution during Wet–Dry Cycling in Hydrothermal Pools

The commonly supposed template-based format for RNA self-replication requires both duplex assembly and disassembly. This requisite binary provision presents a challenge to the development of a serviceable self-replication model since chemical reactions are thermochemically unidirectional. We submit...
