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 ...

Transcription errors occur during the process of copying genetic information from DNA to RNA, one of the key steps in gene expression.

A detailed picture of what happens when DNA transcription is paused early in the process, has been obtained by structural biologists at RIKEN 1. This could help inform the development of new therapies ...

By clarifying how the DNA sequence affects transcription accuracy, the study offers a new perspective on its fidelity, suggesting that errors are not in random locations but are instead influenced ...

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 ...

But that simple sentence belies the complicated mechanisms involved in the transcription process. RNA polymerase II, or Pol II, doesn’t start working on its own.

Binding of KLF4 can cause DNA to condense into a separate liquid phase in a process called biomolecular condensation, which recruits other factors that influence gene expression.

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, a DNA-based computer that performs effectively has been created by ...

DNA-binding transcription factor activity (229 of 1813 negatively correlated genes) was identified as one of the enriched categories of interest to the current work.

Gene transcription is a well-regulated cellular process, but as cells age, they lose their ability to control it. “Promoters have a specific DNA sequence that identifies the starting point of the ...
