DNA vs. RNA – 5 Key Differences and Comparison What is transcription? Transcription is the synthesis of any type of complimentary RNA from a DNA template: note, several types of RNA can be encoded by ...

What happens on the atomic scale when DNA transcription is paused has been unveiled for the first time.

In addition to BRCA1’s role in repairing DNA damage and preventing it from accumulating across the genome, the study indicates this invaluable protein appears to improve transcription fidelity.

Aging is accompanied by genetic changes — gene-expression shifts and pathways go haywire. Why this happens has been poorly understood. New findings provide an answer.

Scientists studied how the epigenetic landscape influences the binding of pioneer transcription factors, affecting access to DNA.

Researchers have now uncovered the role of mitochondrial transcription elongation factor in maintaining the balance between mtDNA transcription and replication.

A detailed picture of what happens when DNA transcription is paused early in the process has been obtained by structural biologists at RIKEN. This could 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 ...
