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 transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted ...

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

Next, using next-generation sequencing methods, the investigators sequenced all the DNA bound by each transcription factor, creating a comprehensive data set comprising 605 transcription factors ...

DNA polymerase enzymes facilitate this process, ensuring accurate copying of the genetic information. Transcription is the process by which the genetic information in DNA is copied into a ...

Genetically speaking, it's a bacterium's worst-case scenario: During transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to its DNA template, forming a 3-stranded structure known as an R-loop. While these ...

The study revealed several key insights. Across the three cell types, approximately 41.7% of the analyzed CREs exhibited activity. Promoters, which start gene transcription, showed a dependence on ...

Maria-Elena Torres-Padilla at Helmholtz Munich and LMU set out to explore these ancient DNA sequences by developing a novel method to study their transcription. They created a single-embryo atlas ...
