transcription is achieved by three different types of RNA polymerase (RNA pol I-III). These polymerases differ in the number and type of subunits they contain, as well as the class of RNAs they ...

In eukaryotes, RNA pol I transcribes the genes that encode most of the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and RNA pol III transcribes the genes for one small rRNA, plus the transfer RNAs that play a key role ...

The process of transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II), in which Pol II travels along DNA and synthesizes RNA from DNA, is essential for proper gene expression in all eukaryotic cells.

More information: Eleftheria Parasyraki et al, 5-Formylcytosine is an activating epigenetic mark for RNA Pol III during ...

Our mission is to elucidate fundamental mechanisms that control the elongation phase of transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in normal and disease states. We are particularly interested in ...
