1Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093-0506, USA Indentifing the first genetic molecule will provide the key to understanding the origin of life. RNA is an unlikely candidate but peptide nucleic acid looks promising in the role of primordial genetic material.
