Wet-dry cycles enable the parallel origin of canonical and non-canonical nucleosides by continuous synthesis

How RNA building blocks have formed on an early Earth by a continuous process is still a mystery awaiting its solution. Here, the authors report that fluctuations of physical parameters like temperature and pH could have been enough to facilitate nucleoside formation from simple starting materials.
