The central dogma of molecular biology states that genetic information flows from DNA and RNA to protein, with reverse transcription converting RNA to DNA. In the pursuit of understanding how bacteria defend themselves from viral infection, two groups have found alternative pathways to making genes from RNA that did not previously encode proteins.

About us
Founded in 1880 on $10,000 of seed money from the American inventor Thomas Edison, Science has grown to become the world's leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research, with the largest paid circulation of any peer-reviewed general-science journal. Through its print and online incarnations, Science reaches an estimated worldwide readership of more than one million. In content, too, the journal is truly international in scope; some 35 to 40 percent of the corresponding authors on its papers are based outside the United States. Its articles consistently rank among world's most cited research.

The pygmy zebra octopus shares more than a name with the striped African equine. A 2023 study suggests that like zebras, the dark stripes marking the tiny cephalopods native to the Pacific Coast of the Americas are unique to each individual—and possibly help the creatures identify one another.

"Writing was the last thing I wanted to do; it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. I learned only later that the research process I’d fallen in love with had more in common with writing than I thought: Both require trial and error." This week's Working Life. https://bit.ly/3BwbeHZ
I hated writing--until I learned there's a science to it
