Given the challenges of prebiotic chemistry to generate oligomer pools of substantial length (the here investigated 20-mers are very much at the upper end of RNA oligomer lengths reported containing all four nucleotides) the innate potential of such pools to extend themselves in length and diversity by recombination is highly significant.

Random-sequence genetic oligomer pools display an innate potential for ligation and recombination.
