... so do we know how fast the RNA degrades in sewer conditions?
- marcosdumay 7y agoSlowly enough to not matter. Unless something is degrading it, RNA can last years.
- ddrt 7y agoI’m pretty sure ribonucleases are found everywhere (even in sewage) so if enough are present it would break down all RNA fast. RNases come from skin and dust, for example.
- xkcd-sucks 7y agolol no, rna degrades if you so much as look at it. dna is quite a bit more stable. https://www.bioline.com/rna-hints-and-tips/ https://www.bioline.com/rna-hints-and-tips/
