The flow of genetic information within cells follows a central dogma, which is the process by which DNA is transcribed into RNA, and then RNA is translated into proteins. Each step in this pathway is highly regulated and involves a variety of specialized molecules, each with distinct roles. The process involves three main stages: transcription, RNA processing, and translation.
