For example, researchers know that RNA pol II can bind to a DNA sequence within the promoter of many genes, known as the TATA box, to initiate transcription. Together with other common motifs ...

For example, many types of RNA have been found to be catalytic ... This RNA-containing complex can then inhibit transcription of an mRNA molecule that has a sequence complementary to its RNA ...

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

RNA synthesis, or transcription, is the process by which RNA is produced ... possess catalytic activity and can catalyze chemical reactions. For example, the ribosome itself is a ribozyme, as the rRNA ...

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

Researchers have succeeded in producing nanotubes that fold into cytoskeleton-like structures, using a new RNA origami ...

Researchers have struggled to unravel what causes cryptic transcription in human cells because cryptic transcripts are difficult to detect and distinguish from other RNA transcripts with traditional ...

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