Cells contain machinery that duplicates DNA into a new set that goes into a newly formed cell. That same class of machines, called polymerases, also build RNA messages, which are like notes copied from the central DNA repository of recipes, so they can be read more efficiently into proteins. But polymerases were thought to only work in one direction DNA into DNA or RNA. This prevents RNA messages from being rewritten back into the master recipe book of genomic DNA.
Pomerantz's team started by investigating one very unusual polymerase, called polymerase theta. Of the 14 DNA polymerases in mammalian cells, only three do the bulk of the work of duplicating the entire genome to prepare for cell division. The remaining 11 are mostly involved in detecting and making repairs when there's a break or error in the DNA strands. Polymerase theta repairs DNA, but is very error-prone and makes many errors or mutations. The researchers therefore noticed that some of polymerase theta's "bad" qualities were ones it shared with another cellular machine, albeit one more common in viruses—the reverse transcriptase. Like Pol theta, HIV reverse transcriptase acts as a DNA polymerase, but can also bind RNA and read RNA back into a DNA strand.
[T]he researchers tested polymerase theta against the reverse transcriptase from HIV, which is one of the best studied of its kind. They showed that polymerase theta was capable of converting RNA messages into DNA, which it did as well as HIV reverse transcriptase, and that it actually did a better job than when duplicating DNA to DNA. Polymerase theta was more efficient and introduced fewer errors when using an RNA template to write new DNA messages, than when duplicating DNA into DNA, suggesting that this function could be its primary purpose in the cell.

This thread’s responses will be interesting...
Hoping to get replies form people who understand the subject matter, because I sure don’t.
This just proves that those who had the RNA vaccine are no longer true members of the human race. They are now Aliens.
It’s going to turn into a pro covid vaccine vs. anti covid “vaccine” thread.
It’ll be like Hagler v Hearns...
Knowing enough to know what I don't know, I'm keeping quiet.
Once prion diseases start turning brains to mush those sorts of threads will become lots more boring.
Duck season, Rabbit season.
Bfl...my doc was excited about the shots (except that it came from govt)...he has masters in Epidemiology also...FWIW
Not long ago here in PA, deer were dropping like flies in fields from some prion disease.
It’s Wabbit season
In first with “Mad-SJW” as the name for these diseases if they start popping up in humans.
Sounds like with the future booster shots, they could turn us into porcupines by injecting us with porcupine mRNA so our cells could replicate them.
It’s really baseball season.
Let’s hope those controlling it aren’t all Furries.
Seconded.
Important work, particularly in cancer research. Understanding how flaws lead to malignancies can have a dramatic benefit to short-circuiting cancer growth in the future with very targeted, relatively simple blocks on flawed processes.
Just to head off any confusion, this has nothing to do with the mRNA vaccines whatsoever. There’s still no way for the mRNA to enter the cell nucleus, still no way to prevent it from being immediately transported back out by transport proteins if it somehow did make it in, and nothing in this research suggests that mRNA becomes integrated into the genome. Further, there’s nothing to indicate a control pathway in any of this. This research isn’t yet able to demonstrate that RNA actually is used in any DNA repair. It’s all purely theoretical and none of it suggests anything that would relate to the mRNA vaccines.
Though I’m sure it won’t stop some ignorant and/or dishonest comments claiming otherwise. Gotta stoke that fear. Can’t let facts get in the way.
Turn you into a birthing person.
