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 ...

There are a variety of different types of RNA polymerases that can transcribe different types of RNA. RNA polymerase II, shown here, is responsible for creating messenger RNA (mRNA), which is the main ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered a novel mechanism that recognizes and eliminates "bad" transcriptional ...

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

EZH1 is a key regulator of circadian rhythms, stabilizing gene transcription and modifying chromatin to maintain genetic ...

This process is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase, which binds to specific promoter regions on the DNA and initiates the synthesis of the complementary RNA strand. The resulting primary ...

If your genes could set an alarm clock, EZH1 might be the one ringing the bell. A new study has revealed how this ...

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 ...

This unwinding of the helix is caused by an enzyme (helicase enzyme). The enzyme RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA in a non-coding region just before the gene. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA ...

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from published datasets were obtained to investigate the expression and dysregulation of ...

RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for copying a DNA sequence into an RNA sequence, duyring the process of transcription. As complex molecule composed of protein subunits, RNA ...
