RNA is Life!

 Graphic of cover of book, “Do You Know Peas About DNA?” And the text: Packed in with your DNA is RNA, or ribonucleic acid, a small molecule essential for all life. It works with DNA to produce proteins and other important tasks. There are several different types—mRNA, miRNA,  rRNA, ctRNA, and others—all with different functions. It sort of looks like DNA cut in half. Learn more about deoxyribonucleic acid and other fun stuff when you download this free educational activity booklet PDF. For ages 8 to adult. (Adult? Yes. Too many grown-ups know too little about genomic science.)   www.genetionary.org/DNA

This was created for kids to introduce them to basic genomic science. But damn, there are a whole lot of supposed grown-ups who need to be set down at a desk and given a box of crayons and this book.
