Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing RNA in eukaryotic cells and eventually giving rise to proteins. Scientists ...

When a gene is expressed, its DNA sequence is transcribed into a molecule known as RNA. Then the cell processes and edits ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...

The mammalian elongation complex has remained a mystery – until researchers discovered how it controls its speed.
