This article is rated C-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. It is of interest to the following WikiProjects:

Molecular Biology: Genetics / MCB This article is within the scope of WikiProject Molecular Biology, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of Molecular Biology on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.Molecular BiologyWikipedia:WikiProject Molecular BiologyTemplate:WikiProject Molecular BiologyMolecular Biology articles ??? This article has not yet received a rating on the importance scale. This article is supported by the Genetics task force (assessed as Mid-importance). This article is supported by the Molecular and Cell Biology task force (assessed as High-importance). Evolutionary biology High‑importance This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

FWIW - (For being aware only of newly published relevant studies - not necessarily to incorporate into the main article) - On 8 July 2022, astronomers reported the discovery of massive amounts of prebiotic molecules, including for RNA, in the galactic center of the Milky Way Galaxy. ^{[1] [2]} - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan ( talk) 13:09, 10 July 2022 (UTC) reply

This section seems to have little to do with the RNA World hypothesis specifically and would therefore be a better fit for the general RNA article instead of this one. But I’m no biologist, so I might be misunderstanding the content. 174.50.77.178 ( talk) 11:35, 7 March 2024 (UTC) reply

You are right. It will be done. Chhandama ( talk) 10:44, 9 March 2024 (UTC) reply
