PROT — Translating RNA into Protein
solved Problem statement
Sixty-four codons encode twenty amino acids and a stop, so the code is degenerate and translation discards information. MRNA counts exactly how much.
SPLC — RNA Splicing
solved Problem statement
What RNA glossed over. A eukaryotic gene is not a contiguous coding sequence — introns are cut out before translation, so the protein comes from the exons joined together. Removing the introns first is the difference between the right protein and nonsense.
