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.

C2H2 zinc finger proteins are the largest group of DNA-binding factors for transcription—the process of copying genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA). As there are more than 700 ...

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 ...

RNA synthesis, or transcription, is the process by which RNA is produced using DNA as a template. This process is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase, which binds to specific promoter regions on ...

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 ...
