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 ...

DNA is essentially a storage molecule. It contains all of the instructions a cell needs to sustain itself. These instructions are found within genes, which are sections of DNA made up of specific ...

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.

Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained within DNA to the ribosomes, where the genetic information is synthesized into ...

This study shows that RNA decay rather than the presence of premature termination codons triggers a TA-like response.

Transcription is the process by which the genetic information in DNA is copied into a complementary RNA strand. RNA polymerase enzymes read the DNA sequence and synthesize messenger RNA (mRNA) ...

Protein Synthesis in the Cellular Factory – This video depicts the processes involved as DNA builds RNA (transcription) and as RNA builds proteins (translation). The RNA Origin of Life –The ...

For natural cells, the so-called central dogma of molecular biology describes how protein synthesis occurs through ...

For the Liu Lab, necessity is truly the mother of invention. The researchers were examining how the 3D organization of the ...

Researchers from Northwestern University have stumbled upon a previously unobserved function of a protein found in the cell ...

C2H2 zinc finger proteins are the largest group of DNA-binding factors for transcription—the process of copying genetic ...

Specifically, we use the most heavily studied model organism, Escherichia coli, as a platform for understanding how RNA polymerase associated factors influence the fidelity of transcription as well as ...
