Gene expression is linked to RNA transcription, which cannot happen without RNA polymerase. However, this is where the similarities between prokaryote and eukaryote expression end. Central to the ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

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 ...

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 ...

Protein Synthesis in the Cellular Factory – This video depicts the processes involved as DNA builds RNA (transcription) and as RNA builds proteins (translation). The RNA Origin of Life –The ...

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

Alternative RNA splicing is like a movie editor cutting and rearranging scenes from the same footage to create different versions of a film.

A research team led by Rice University's Yang Gao has uncovered new insights into the molecular mechanisms of ADAR1, a protein that regulates ribonucleic acid (RNA) induced immune responses.
