Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as the primary transcript, and its nucleotide sequence determines the amino acid sequence of proteins. A codon in mRNA comprises of three nucleotides that encode a specific amino acid. For example, the codon for glutamine is CAG (Cytosine, Adenine and Guanine). The most common stop and start codon is TAA and AUG respectively.
