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 ...

Researchers have shown, for the first time, how the genetic material of the Nipah virus replicates in infected cells. The ...

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

Chemical and biomolecular engineers at Georgia Tech have developed a plug-and-play platform that's simple, flexible, and easy ...

A child with a rare genetic disorder — spinal muscular atrophy type I — was treated prenatally for the first time. Courtesy of Jakob Owens  via Unsplash During an amniocentesis test, a long, thin ...

This unwinding of the helix is caused by an enzyme (helicase enzyme). The enzyme RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA in a non-coding region just before the gene. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA ...

Recent findings from the RESOLVE-1 trial highlight mycophenolate mofetil's efficacy in treating diffuse cutaneous systemic ...

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 ...
