- Exhibits DNA replication, RNA replication, transcription, reverse transcription and translation.
- Displays codons and anticodons
DNA → RNA → Protein
This ↑ is the central dogma of biology: DNA codes for RNA which codes for protein...
Actually, it's not that simple. For example, introns in DNA are spiced out from pre-mRNA; only the exons get exported to mRNA. And not all RNA codes for protein; consider tRNAs, snRNAs and microRNAs. Still the general concept of genetic codes reflects the wonder of life: small, limited sets of molecules can carry all the information required for creating an organism.
Hopefully this software program gives an insight into the genetic program behind living things.
