   2 days ago · The most intensively studied of these are the various transcription factors, which are proteins that regulate transcription. Each transcription factor binds to one particular set of DNA sequences and activates or inhibits the transcription of genes that have these sequences close to their promoters.

   Jul 1, 2024 · The RNA strand is extruded from the transcription complex like a tail, which grows longer as the transcription process advances. Eventually, a full-length transcript of RNA is produced, and this detaches from the DNA.

   6 days ago · The first step is called transcription. It involves the replication of a strand of DNA, but rather than making a complementary DNA strand, an enzyme called RNA polymerase makes a complementary RNA strand. The RNA that is produced is called mRNA, or messenger RNA, and typically remains single stranded.
