Serendipity strikes twice: the discovery and rediscovery of defective ribosomal products (DRiPS)
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand).
.
Abstract
Here I recount how the remarkably large fraction of rapidly degraded nascent proteins was discovered through serendipity not once, but twice. This story is used as a canvas for discussing how the imperfections in human nature retard scientific progress.
