It started as a home-cooked meal, ended in multiple deaths and a court sentence for Erin Patterson. Here's how the death cap ...

Simon Claringbold picked and ate wild mushrooms from his garden. Days later, he thought he was taking his last breath.

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription and translation processes.

The RNA polymerase II (Pol II) elongation rate influences poly(A) site selection, with slow and fast Pol II derivatives causing upstream and downst ...

RNA polymerase II also produces micro RNA (miRNA) molecules. These non-coding transcripts can mediate gene expression and the activity of mRNAs after transcription.

This article describes the three types of RNA polymerase (RNAP), the enzyme responsible for transcription in eukaryotic cells.

Eukaryotic RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is an essential enzyme that lies at the core of eukaryotic biology. Due to its pivotal role in gene expression, Pol II has been subjected to a substantial number ...

RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) speed or elongation rate, i.e., the number of nucleotides synthesized per unit of time, is a major determinant of transcriptome composition. It controls ...

We herein present the example of the homeostatic regulation of transcript levels versus changes in cell volume. We propose that the diversity and instability of messenger RNAs, transcribed by RNA ...

Scientists have recently uncovered the mechanisms of how RNA polymerase II performs intrinsic cleavage reaction to proofread RNA transcriptions, shedding light on how misregulation of accurate ...
