Question: What have you discovered so far?

I’ve discovered that the protein responsible for copying RNA from DNA can continue copying into protective structures at the end of chromosomes known as telomeres. I also found that a specific protein involved in a process called splicing can prevent the copying process from halting. So we’ve definitely learnt a bit more about how this stuff works 🙂
