SELEX: How It Happened and Where It will Go by Larry Gold (2015)

J Mol Evol 81, 140–143 (2015), DOI 10.1007/s00239-015-9705-9. Gold’s firsthand retrospective, The First Moments, identifies Craig Tuerk and the eight-nucleotide RNA-loop experiment, attributes the name SELEX to Tuerk and connects that experiment to their 1990 Science paper. Its Larry Gold byline and University of Colorado affiliation verify the fuller name without expanding an initial by guesswork.
