Slow Pace of RNA RESEARCH WHY?
I was talking to a grad student in my lab the other day and we couldn't agree on why it take so long to discover gene regulation by RNA processing? I mean we knew about DNA and RNA decades ago why did it take so long to figure out that they can be regulated backwards?
So the grad student told me that it was Crick's fault because of his central dogma theory and got everyone going in the wrong direction. Which Ididn't agree. What do you guys think?
thanks
