PROFESSOR: Now, onward. Transcription. So, we've got DNA, we'll do two, three, probably three by now, transcription. So we have DNA goes to DNA. DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein. This, by the way, gets the name the central dogma of molecular biology. Due to Francis Crick, and as an aside, Francis actually never said DNA goes to RNA goes to protein. What he said was nucleic acids go to protein. The information flows from nucleic acids to proteins. He never actually said DNA goes to RNA goes to protein, and that's an important point. And we'll come to it at some point, probably next time. So, transcription. Here's my genome. Here's my double helix. I'm going to stop wrapping around itself, just because it's tedious. And here's a chunk of D...
