"Each gene was like a single word. However, there was a piece of critical information lacking: transcription initiation sites for individual genes." Transcription initiation sites are locations in ...

The paper is titled "Structural visualization of key steps in human transcription initiation." Co-authors are Yuan He, Jie Fang and Dylan Taatjes. The fundamental process of life by which ...

During transcription initiation, a large, multi-molecular machinery assembles on the promoter of a gene, to enable proper positioning of the RNA Polymerase enzyme and commence accurate mRNA synthesis.

In addition, the deletion of TEFM resulted in an increase in transcription initiation from the light-strand promoter, as ...
