Translate RNA sequences into proteins.

RNA can be broken into three nucleotide sequences called codons, and then translated to a polypeptide like so:
RNA can be broken into three-nucleotide sequences called codons, and then translated to a protein like so:

RNA: `"AUGUUUUCU"` => translates to

Codons: `"AUG", "UUU", "UCU"`

Note the stop codon `"UAA"` terminates the translation and the final methionine is not translated into the protein sequence.
