RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) strands have been found in two different species of organisms that separated from the main evolutionary group, which includes humans, a few billion years ago. Until recently, it was believed that RNA was characteristic of more evolved creatures, members of a class known as bilaterians. This evo... |
