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 ...

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 ...

Thanks to a first-of-its-kind platform, we are starting to understand how the molecular engine responsible for transcription in mammals controls its speed. A team of researchers from The Rockefeller ...
