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 ...

Cornell researchers reveal that linker histones, previously thought to merely organize DNA, actively regulate gene expression ...

A cell protein previously believed only to provide a scaffolding for DNA has also been shown to directly influence DNA transcription into RNA – the first step of the process by which an organism’s ...

Mediator is a common target of DNA-binding transcription factors (TFs) and also interacts with various Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC) factors. The PIC consists of TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, ...
