One of the first-ever images of the open complex that forms when RNAP encounters DNA and kicks off the process of transcription. Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an ...

Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by which a segment of DNA is copied into RNA and then RNA helps make the proteins ...

The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. RNA transcription isn’t a fully continuous process; ...

Transcription factors are the most powerful genes in our body. They are master regulators and have been implicated in our biggest diseases, even aging itself. Yet, many in the pharmaceutical industry ...
