I'll post a blog almost every day, relating to recent discoveries, interesting concepts, and biology applications for a whole year. Who am I? I am a sophomore student in high school. Along with biology, I am also interested in chemistry, physics and mathematics, and want to pursue my passion involving these subjects. An interesting fact about me: I love visual applications of science and mathematics, whether it's motor coordination when playing the piano, or resonance structures for sulfur dioxide. Today's Topic: Post-transcriptional modifications to the mRNA. DNA can be expressed by transcription, where the messenger RNA (mRNA) quite literally replicates DNA - but in its own way.
