A multi-institutional team of investigators have developed a catalog of transcription factor binding sites that regulate gene expression across the genome, according to a recent study published in ...

Transcription factors are proteins involved in the process of converting, or transcribing, DNA into RNA. Transcription factors include a wide number of proteins, excluding RNA polymerase, that ...

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 ...

real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction, or real-time RT–PCR. Fast and accurate, real-time RT–PCR has been critical in detecting, tracking and studying COVID-19. But what is it, and ...

Nelson, curator of SoyBase, explained, "Having even a potential transcription start site will aid in the analysis of soybean gene promoter regions. This may shed light on the proteins that ...
