Tag mechanism as a strategy for the RNA replicase to resist parasites in the RNA world.
The idea that life may have started with an "RNA world" is attractive. Wherein, a crucial event (perhaps at the very beginning of the scenario) should have been the emergence of a ribozyme that catalyzes its own replication, i.e., an RNA replicase. Although now there is experimental eviden...
