Hmmm, are you saying that you can predict the exact protein that, say a human cell, will produce for every DNA sequence. I had the impression that the whole mRNA + ribosomes process is extremely complex and poorly understood.

You are thinking of splicing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_splicing

And, you are right. DNA => mRNA ≠ Protein, in a direct manner because of it.
