Synthetic Biology
Translation is the biological process in which messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded by ribosomes to synthesize proteins, following the genetic instructions encoded in DNA. This process is essential for gene expression and involves converting the nucleotide sequence of mRNA into a corresponding sequence of amino acids, ultimately forming functional proteins. Understanding translation is crucial as it links genetic information with the resulting phenotypic traits and enables synthetic biology applications like gene circuit modeling and optimization.
