Our studies on cytoskeleton are directed toward figuring out the identity of a widely expressed protein that associates with intermediate filaments. Our goal in our research with the G.3.5 antigen is to figure out the sequence for the cDNA encoding the protein. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA and are also referred to the letters of the genetic alphabet, . The process is like transcribing handwritten notes into word-processed notes. The mRNA typically gets modified, but once it's ready, it can be used as instructions for making a particular protein through a process called translation.
Translation is analogous to converting text written in English to text written in Chinese.
The cDNA can then be chopped up and integrated into viral DNA, which can then be packaged into viruses, yielding a so-called cDNA library.
