What is mRNA?
I have a question about the episode Nick Lane: Origin of Life, Evolution, Aliens, Biology, and Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #318 and the clip RNA to DNA Transition. The language used to describe RNA is similar to coding in the sense that both involve the transmission and interpretation of information. RNA can be thought of like computer code that translates genetic instructions into functional products, such as proteins. Can you explain this analogy further?
