A powerful scientific tool for editing the DNA instructions in a genome can now also be applied to RNA, the molecule that translates DNA's genetic instructions into the production of proteins. A ...

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 ...

New mechanism for terminating transcription of DNA into RNA in bacteria Date: May 8, 2021 Source: Penn State Summary: A bacterial protein helps to stop transcription -- the process of making RNA ...

The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not ...

RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions ...

DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained within DNA to the ribosomes, where the genetic information is synthesized into ...

A detailed picture of what happens when DNA transcription is paused early in the process has been obtained by structural ...

Click chemistry–based RNA sequencing captures bursts of transcription A new technique allows scientists to track RNA expression in single cells at the moment genes are transcribed from DNA to RNA.

Proteins are produced from RNA (ribonucleic acid). But our genes are stored in the form of DNA. So, this DNA first needs to be converted into RNA. In technical lingo, this is called transcription.
