Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing ...

If DNA is a book, then how is it read? Learn more about the DNA transcription process, where DNA is converted to RNA, a more portable set of instructions for the cell. The process of transcription can ...

Elongation: RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand, reading the nucleotide sequence and adding complementary RNA nucleotides to the growing RNA molecule. This process follows base-pairing ...

RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...
