| Year | Month and date | Event type | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1950 | "In 1950, it was first hypothesized that RNA was synthesized in the nucleus and then transferred into the cytoplasm, where it was aggregating with other molecules (Jeener and Szafarz 1950)" | ||
| 1960 | The idea of mRNA is first conceived by Sydney Brenner and Francis Crick on 15 April 1960 at King's College, Cambridge, while François Jacob tells them about a recent experiment conducted by Arthur Pardee, himself, and Jacques Monod.[1] | ||
| 1961 | "A better appreciation of the role of RNA was gained in 1961 when three publications revolutionized the way gene function was perceived by establishing messenger RNA (mRNA) as an information carrier in a transitional stage towards the synthesis of protein (Brenner et al. 1961; Gros et al. 1961; Jacob and Monod 1961)" | ||
| 1983 | "It was not until the mid-1980s that the first elements of the answer were identified when it was reported that the actin mRNA in ascidian oocytes and embryos was asymmetrically distrib�uted (Jeffery et al. 1983)" |
