The interactions between transcription factors guided by DNA are poorly understood. In a new study, researchers from the Sanger Institute and the University of Cambridge used two novel algorithms ...

The instructions stored within DNA are read and processed by a cell in two steps: transcription and translation. Each of these steps is a separate biochemical process involving multiple molecules.

The first step in transcription is initiation, when the RNA pol binds to the DNA upstream (5′) of the gene at a specialized sequence called a promoter (Figure 2a). In bacteria, promoters are ...

NusA and NusG then bind to RNA polymerase during the elongation process to make an RNA copy of the DNA sequence. Finally, the transcription must be terminated at the appropriate spots in the genome.

The study comprehensively analyzed "cis-regulatory elements" (CREs), which are the DNA sequences that regulate gene ...

During transcription, the first step in gene expression, RNAPs "read" DNA sequences and assemble messenger RNA (mRNA), which in turn serves as the template for the proteins necessary for life.

Serving the chemical, life science, and laboratory worlds ...

The mRNA that is created in the process of transcription comprises a sequence of nucleotides. A set of three-letter combinations of nucleotides is called a codon.Codons can either encode a specific ...

Transcription factors are proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences to control gene expression, guiding cells to become specific types—such as skin, muscle, or placenta cells.

Tagging gene-regulating DNA sequences with barcodes provides insights into human genome. ... Researchers develop novel data representation for transcription factor-binding sequences. Oct 20, 2023.
