Transcription is the first step in gene expression, in which information from a gene is used to construct a functional product such as a protein. The goal of transcription is to make a RNA …

An in-depth looks at how transcription works. Initiation (promoters), elongation, and termination.

Transcription is when we take the information encoded in the gene in DNA and encode essentially that same information in mRNA. So transcription we are going from DNA to messenger RNA, …

Now a few notes about the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes when it comes to transcriptional regulation. In prokaryotes, the regulation of transcription is really needed for the …

The molecule that's directly made by transcription in one of your (eukaryotic) cells is called a pre-mRNA, reflecting that it needs to go through a few more steps to become an actual messenger …

La transcription est une étape essentielle de l'exploitation des informations génétiques de notre ADN pour fabriquer des protéines. Les protéines sont les molécules clés qui structurent les …

Proteins called transcription factors, however, play a particularly central role in regulating transcription. These important proteins help determine which genes are active in each cell of …

Replication creates identical DNA strands, while transcription converts DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA). Translation then decodes mRNA into amino acids, forming proteins essential for life …
