Moontanman Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have log been a bit of a fan boy of the idea that the virus may have a more profound role in the operation of living system and evolution. Many ideas have swirled around the virus and proposed roles in life, the RNA world, and various other hypothesis. This article suggests that giant viruses could have been involved in the addition of nuclei to cells and perhaps a role in the change from the RNA world to our current DNA world. http://www.the-scientist.com//?articles.view/articleNo/39244/title/Viruses-Reconsidered/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
