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 ...

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 ...

Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained within DNA to the ribosomes, where the genetic information is synthesized into ...

Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) are found in the genomes of microorganisms across the globe—from the arctic ...

RapA (yellow) pulling open the RNAP clamp (purple) to help the RNAP fall off the DNA. Genetically speaking, it's a bacterium's worst-case scenario ...

Viral reverse transcriptase (RT) plays a critical role in replication (e.g., retroviruses, that reverse transcribe RNA ...

Combining a weakly hydrophobic ion-pairing agent with a moderately hydrophobic one further improved resolution.

Yang Zhang, PhD, and Jinjun Shi, PhD, both of the Center for Nanomedicine and Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and ...

The active genes in the body have to be copied, or transcribed into RNA molecules, which are then processed in a variety of ...
