How does DNA determine an organism’s characteristics? A process called translation decodes RNA created during transcription, and uses it to create proteins that perform specific cellular functions.
To manufacture protein molecules, a cell must first transfer information from DNA to mRNA through the process of transcription. Then, a process called translation uses this mRNA as a template for ...
The genetic building blocks of life—formed from the four nucleotides adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T)—are read in groups of three known as codons. While some codons (known as ...

A pond organism found at Oxford University breaks biology’s most universal rule — its DNA uses stop codons to build proteins instead of ending them
In April 2021, Jamie McGowan was running a routine test. A computational biologist at the Earlham Institute in Norwich, England, McGowan had fed a single-celled organism’s genetic data into a ...
