From RNA to protein

This lecture covers the process of alternative splicing, a mechanism that allows a single gene to produce multiple proteins. It explores how introns are excluded from the final transcript, and exons are joined to form mRNA. The lecture also delves into the genetic code, detailing the translation process from mRNA to proteins. It discusses the central dogma of molecular biology, emphasizing the role of transcription and translation. Furthermore, it explains how genes encode proteins through the genetic code, highlighting the start and stop codons. The lecture concludes by elucidating the journey from genetics to proteins, detailing the steps from transcription initiation to protein degradation.
