For example, researchers know that RNA pol II can bind to a DNA sequence within the promoter of many genes, known as the TATA box, to initiate transcription. Together with other common motifs ...

For example, many types of RNA have been found to be catalytic ... This RNA-containing complex can then inhibit transcription of an mRNA molecule that has a sequence complementary to its RNA ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

RNA synthesis, or transcription, is the process by which RNA is produced ... possess catalytic activity and can catalyze chemical reactions. For example, the ribosome itself is a ribozyme, as the rRNA ...

This study shows that RNA decay rather than the presence of premature termination codons triggers a TA-like response.

Researchers have struggled to unravel what causes cryptic transcription in human cells because cryptic transcripts are difficult to detect and distinguish from other RNA transcripts with traditional ...
