The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But where does translation take place within a cell?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a subtype of RNA. An mRNA molecule carries a portion of the DNA code to other parts of the cell for processing. mRNA is created during transcription. During the ...

To boost those proteins, they’ve created experimental versions of a genetic “tail” that attaches to so-called mRNA molecules that churn out the proteins. A report on the researchers’ proof ...
