Promoter sequences define the direction of transcription and indicate which DNA strand will be transcribed; this strand is known as the sense strand. Many eukaryotic genes have a conserved ...

In general, a greater number of regulatory proteins are involved, and regulatory binding sites may be located quite far from transcription promoter sites. Also, eukaryotic gene expression is ...

Genetic studies have made it clear that eukaryotic horizontal gene transfer can and does happen. Exactly how, though, remains speculative. Christie is a seasoned science journalist and cell and ...

Genetic switches could play a role in creating complex eukaryotic genetic circuits for programmed cell-free systems or artificial cells.

While previous research had described bidirectional promoters in eukaryotes, as well as in a few bacteria and archaea species, the new study establishes divergent transcription—the reading of genes in ...

In eukaryotic cell division ... The research revealed that the DNA motif it recognizes for binding to gene promoter, differs from those bound by other canonical HSF family transcription factors.

In eukaryotes, promoter regions are more complex and often ... RNA polymerase II is responsible for transcribing most protein-coding genes. Transcription termination differs between prokaryotes ...
