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 ...

The complementary nature of base pairing allows for the accurate replication of DNA during cell division and the transcription of DNA into RNA for protein synthesis.

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) ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

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 ...

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

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

University at Albany researchers at the RNA Institute are pioneering new methods for designing and assembling DNA ...

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

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).
