RNA DNA Endless Forms

by Domain Mistress on May.12, 2009, under Genetics

Ellen has been spiraling in the flow… She found in ” Endless Forms Most Beautiful” by Sean B. Carroll…the relationship between DNA, RNA and protein is that DNA is a template for the making of RNA, and RNA is in turn the template for the making of proteins. Genetic information stored in DNA is thus decoded in two steps to produce the proteins that do the actual work in cells and bodies. http://seanbcarroll.com/books/Endless_Forms_Most_Beautiful/

RNA DNA twisty snakes

by Domain Mistress on May.12, 2009, under Genetics

JBurd’s been stream of consciousness thinking these past few weeks. A train of his thoughts from a recent email….
“been thinking about twisted dna/snakes all that….and am wondering about DNA/RNA….i know the RNA duplicates only certain sequences of the DNA for protein replication and such — but WHO is in charge? does the DNA oversee it all, or is it the RNA? been thinkin’ the RNA is like the librarian and the DNA like the library, but i could be mistaken…what are those snakes up to????”
She sends an link to an interesting article “Nobel Prize genius Crick was high on LSD
when he discovered the secret of life
