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 ...

During the process of transcription, DNA is converted to RNA, a complex molecule that is able to carry genetic information outside of the cell's nucleus. This page guides you through 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 ...

This transcription process is done by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. It was discovered 50 years ago that chloroplasts contain their own unique RNA polymerase. Since then, scientists have been ...

Using a new technology and computational method, researchers have uncovered a biomarker capable of accurately predicting outcomes in meningioma brain tumors and breast cancers.

The process of transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II), in which Pol II travels along DNA and synthesizes RNA from DNA, is essential for proper gene expression in all eukaryotic cells.

It both stabilizes a critical protein called RNA Polymerase II—the molecular engine of gene transcription—and reshapes the structure of chromatin, the tightly packed form of DNA, to activate ...

RNA synthesis, or transcription, is the process by which RNA is produced using DNA as a template. This process is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase, which binds to specific promoter regions on ...

Our mission is to elucidate fundamental mechanisms that control the elongation phase of transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in normal and disease states. We are particularly interested in ...

The genetic information stored in DNA is transcribed into RNA through the process of transcription. In this process, the enzyme RNA polymerase uses one strand of the DNA as a template to synthesize a ...

Researchers at Fred Hutch and MD Anderson discovered RNA Polymerase II on histone genes as a biomarker for cancer ...
