RNA Timeline: A History in Hybridization and Structure
RNA Timeline: A History in Hybridization and Structure Alexander Rich and David Davies discover the double-stranded RNA helix and show that polyribo U and polyribo A hybridize spontaneously.6 Ben Hall and Sol Speigelman carry out DNA-RNA hybridization in viral infected bacterial system.15 Rich and colleagues publish on two RNA double helix fragments solving the structure at atomic re
