BERKELEY, CA -- A team of scientists led by Priscilla Cooper, a senior staff scientist in the Life Sciences Division of the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has discovered ...
This image illustrates the process of gene transcription within a cell. The DNA double helix unwinds to expose a specific sequence, allowing RNA polymerase to synthesize a complementary pre-mRNA ...
Scientists have observed early RNA transcription dynamics by recording where, when and how RNA polymerase enzymes kick off transcription by binding to a DNA sequence. On scales too small for our eyes ...
Transcription errors occur during the process of copying genetic information from DNA to RNA, one of the key steps in gene expression. These errors can arise from DNA damage, incorrect recognition of ...
