Interviewee: FranÃ§ois Jacob. FranÃ§ois Jacob talks about how he and Jacques Monod named messenger RNA. (DNAi Location: Code > Copying the code > Players > FranÃ§ois Jacob > Who came up with messenger RNA?)

It was in a discussion between us but we came out with that, yes, yes. The idea was there were, there was a message, why not messenger, yes, why not messenger.
