In order to fully understand what this means, it is first necessary to examine the mechanisms of RNA transcription in more detail. In bacteria, all transcription is performed by a single type of ...

How would you make transcription and translation work when you no longer have a nucleus? Bacteria have an interesting answer. Attenuation, or dampening, of the trp operon is made possible by the ...

Plants know how to defend themselves against pathogenic microorganisms. In turn, pathogens have sensors to detect such ...

Finally, the noisy gene expression data collected from bacterial populations made sense ... graphs showing expression patterns for single genes, which they named transcription-replication interaction ...

While previous research had described bidirectional promoters in eukaryotes, as well as in a few bacteria and archaea species, the new study establishes divergent transcription—the reading of genes in ...

Could a gene regulatory network in gut microbes have evolved its elaborate and tightly regulated molecular machinery only to ...

A new study shows that NusA and NusG together facilitate termination at about 88% of the intrinsic terminators in the bacteria Bacillus subtilis, helping to prevent unwanted transcription.

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 ...
