RNA is a crucial linchpin of many cellular activities, including the process by which genetic material is expressed as proteins. The more scientists study RNA, the more surprises they continue to ...

Transfer RNA (tRNA) then carries the appropriate amino acids into the ribosome for inclusion in the new protein. Meanwhile, the ribosomes themselves consist largely of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules.
