Transcription is the process of copying DNA to RNA. The accuracy of transcription processes varies widely among species, across cell types and within distinct regions of the genome, with profound ...

Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...

Transcription factors control how cells work because they activate specific genes to produce proteins. If used as drugs, the factors could be equally powerful by boosting underperforming cellular ...

New York University chemists have employed a computer simulation whose results have enhanced scientific understanding of the DNA transcription process. The study, funded by the National Institutes of ...

R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...
