Tracing One Gene from Transcription Through a Finished Protein
Captions available
The idea
This capstone traces one eukaryotic gene along the central dogma, from RNA polymerase II's transcription through mRNA processing and translation to a finished protein.
Where people slip
Processing steps such as capping, splicing, and tailing happen before translation ever begins — none of them occurs during elongation or termination, which act on an already-mature mRNA.
