The Synthesis of "mRNA"

Discover what RNA is, why it's a hot topic in science thanks to mRNA vaccines, and how it is revolutionizing medicine and human health.

An explanation of translation, the vital cellular process where genetic information from mRNA is used to build proteins, the workhorses of the cell.

An explainer on transcription, the vital biological process of copying DNA to RNA, and its connection to human health, aging, and disease.

Discover the central dogma of molecular biology, the fundamental process of how genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to create functional proteins.

An explainer on protein synthesis, the fundamental process cells use to build proteins, and why it's vital for health, fitness, and disease prevention.

Discover the genetic code, the set of rules used by cells to translate genetic information into proteins. Learn how it defines life as we know it.

Explore gene expression, the vital process of turning genetic instructions in your DNA into functional proteins that define life and health.

Exploring the RNA world hypothesis, a leading theory that proposes RNA was the original molecule of life, predating both DNA and proteins.

Discover the ribosome, the essential cellular machine responsible for protein synthesis by translating genetic code into life's building blocks.

Discover nucleic acids, the essential macromolecules like DNA and RNA that store genetic information and direct all cellular activities in living organisms.
