Some scientists even think it had a virus defense system; “researchers say LUCA likely housed 19 CRISPR genes, which bacteria use to slice up viral threats,” reports Quanta Magazine. DNA and RNA molecules are also built from exclusively right-handed nucleic acids.

The researchers first compared the editing efficiency of different versions of IscB when coupled with 'ωRNA,' which guides the enzyme to the right spot on the DNA. A particular variant, named IscB*-ωRNA*, had the highest editing efficiency across multiple different sites in the genome. Read more in Nature Methods.
