Once transcription is initiated, the DNA double helix unwinds and RNA polymerase reads the template ... termination remains to be determined. One model supposes that cleavage itself triggers ...

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.

The Lab lends itself well to any classroom model and also allows students ... This video depicts the processes involved as DNA builds RNA (transcription) and as RNA builds proteins (translation).

Scientists in The Wistar Institute lab of David B. Weiner, Ph.D., have described a next-generation vaccination technology ...

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 ...

In addition to exporting materials out of the nucleus, the protein, called Exportin-1 (also called Xpo1 or Crm1), seems to play a role in promoting gene transcription, the process that creates RNA ...

In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick proposed the double-helix model of DNA based on X-ray ... transcription and translation. During transcription, the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into a ...

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).
