Role of Ribonucleic Acid Synthesis in Replication of Deoxyribonucleic Acid

Martin L Pato 1
PMCID: PMC246057  PMID: 1090599

Abstract

An experiment previously interpreted to show a ribonucleic acid requirement for propagation of deoxyribonucleic replication is reexamined and the earlier interpretation is shown to be incorrect.
