- The site on the DNA from which the first RNA nucleotide is transcribed is called the + 1 site, or the initiation site. Nucleotides that come before the initiation site are given negative numbers and said to be upstream. Nucleotides that come after the initiation site are marked with positive numbers and said to be downstream.

Initiation (promoters), elongation, and termination. Key points: Transcription is the process in which a gene's DNA sequence is copied (transcribed) to make an RNA molecule. RNA polymerase is the main transcription enzyme.
Transcription of a gene takes place in three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. Here, we will briefly see how these steps happen in bacteria.
- No, you're not wrong. A tRNA contains hairpins as well, though the hairpins play different roles in the two cases. In transcription termination, th...
- Good question! Introns have multiple roles in biology including the regulation of gene expression. Other introns have functions after they are spli...
- Not really. Introns enable one gene to produce multiple polypeptide sequences, thereby creating a more efficient genome. This will make more sense...
- Really there isn't much difference — as far as I know the existence of the two terms is an accident of history — my advice would be to use gene. Ma...
- Yes, helicase was the enzyme that makes the DNA to unwinds its strands by breaking the Hydrogen bonds between the nucleotides.
- The RNA is actually synthesized using the antisense (complementary) strand as the template.
- This is briefly covered in the next article — short answer: yes, but transcription termination is still being actively studied and is not completel...
- Introns are actually noncoding DNA segments (in other words, they do not code for proteins), so splicing them out actually helps produce a function...
- No, transcription starts upstream of the AUG, so the mRNA contains a 5' untranslated region. Then ribosomes translate starting from the AUG in the...
- A hairpin loop is an unpaired loop of messenger RNA (mRNA) that is created when an mRNA strand folds and forms base pairs with another section of t...
1) Initiation. After RNA polymerase binds to the promoter, the DNA strands unwind, and the polymerase initiates RNA synthesis at the start point on the template strand. 2) Elongation. The polymerase moves downstream, unwinding the DNA and elongating the RNA transcripts 5' --> 3'.

Gene expression, the transcription of DNA into RNA and the translation of RNA into a polypeptide chain, and its regulation encompass a collection of genetic and molecular programmes that underlie the major biological capabilities of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cellular differentiation and development.

The translation of mRNA begins with the formation of a complex on the mRNA (Figure 4). First, three initiation factor proteins (known as IF1, IF2, and IF3) bind to the small subunit of the...
By predicting transcription initiation at base-pair resolution from sequences with a deep learning–inspired explainable model called Puffin, we show that a small set of simple rules can explain transcription initiation at most human promoters.
Translation initiation is the process of assembly of elongation-competent 80S ribosomes, in which the initiation codon is base-paired with the anticodon loop of initiator tRNA (...
