Translation: From Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) to Protein

The central dogma outlines how the cell's information is transferred from the instruction manual of DNA, to the intermediary messenger RNA, to the final product of protein. Learn how the cell acts like a conductor and elegantly orchestrates this complex process that is the foundation for every cellular function.To learn more about how the cell processes its messenger RNA before translation, watch our previous video on RNA splicing, a clever mechanism where gibberish portions of RNA are cut out to create a coherent message as well as produce protein variants from a limited set of genes. https://youtu.be/CCGX05JKtSU
