biology on Instagram: "*Transcription* – The process where an enzyme called RNA polymerase reads a DNA template and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand (usually messenger RNA, or mRNA). This RNA copy carries the genetic information out of the nucleus. *Translation* – The step in which ribosomes read the mRNA sequence and use transfer RNAs (tRNAs) to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain, ultimately forming a protein. #Genetics #Transcription #Translation #DNA #RNA #mRNA #ProteinSynthe

Avery Elle on Instagram: "Stanford Medicine investigators have unearthed the biological process by which mRNA-based vaccines for COVID-19 can cause heart damage in some young men and adolescents — and they’ve shown a possible route to reducing its likelihood. If this is news to you, please get out of your echochamber."
