MacPherson. The artists: Jeffrey Zornow (Day of the Dead), Esteve Polls, Steph Stamb, John Alderink and Grant Bond. A prose piece by Nick Simmons, “The Child,” closes the set of tales in this issue.

Genetic information proceeds in a stepwise fashion from the sequence of a gene to the synthesis of a polypeptide. Located near the coding sequence of the gene are sequences, called DNA control regions, that identify the transcription start site (promoters), mark the tissue in which it will be expressed (enhancers), and control the use of batteries of genes during ontogeny (locus control regions). The regions of DNA that specify the sequence of a polypeptide chain, or structural genes, are organized into discrete units (exons) that are separated by noncoding sequences (introns). The first step in synthesizing a new protein occurs in the nucleus, where the sequence of the coding DNA is copied (transcribed) into ribonucleic acid (RNA), a less stable nucleic acid that can be rapidly degraded. The ends of the RNA are modified to help stabilize the final product and the introns are removed, or spliced out, generating messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). The mRNA is transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it is translated by ribosomes into polypeptide strands.
