RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for copying a DNA sequence into an RNA sequence, duyring the process of transcription. As complex molecule composed of protein subunits, RNA ...

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 ...

The replication of the Nipah virus's genetic material in infected cells has been demonstrated for the first time by ...

This enables the RNA polymerase (RNAP) and the ribosome to coordinate their functions and work together efficiently directly. Bacteria are the most well-understood prokaryotes, and due to their ...

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.

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 ...

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.

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 ...
