If DNA is a book, then how is it read? Learn more about the DNA transcription process, where DNA is converted to RNA, a more portable set of instructions for the cell. The process of transcription ...

Promoter sequences are DNA sequences that define where transcription of a gene by RNA polymerase begins. Promoter sequences are typically located directly upstream or at the 5' end of the ...

Alan Herbert, explores the understanding of genome information storage, and the significance of repetitive sequences called ...

During transcription, the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into a complementary RNA molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA). This process is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase, which binds to the ...

How chromatin openness controls behavioral changes remains unclear. This work implicates alternative promoter selection, ...

Single-Molecule Footprinting reveals that RNA polymerase II (Pol II) occupancy is infrequent at mouse promoters. This results ...

“While mtDNA is much smaller than nuclear DNA, it plays a crucial ... of TEFM resulted in an increase in transcription initiation from the light-strand promoter, as suggested by higher levels ...
