Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a subtype of RNA. An mRNA molecule carries a portion of the DNA code to other parts of the cell for processing. mRNA is created during transcription. During the ...

the mRNA from the abnormal cells is dyed red.) The DNA copy that is made, called complementary DNA (cDNA), is then applied to the microarray. The cDNA binds to complementary base pairs in each of ...

By virtue of complementary base- pairing, this action creates a new strand of mRNA that is organized in the 5' to 3' direction. As the RNA polymerase continues down the strand of DNA, more ...

Transcription is the process by which the genetic information in DNA is copied into a complementary RNA strand. RNA polymerase enzymes read the DNA sequence and synthesize messenger RNA (mRNA) ...

In this process, the enzyme RNA polymerase uses one strand of the DNA as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA strand. The resulting RNA molecule, typically mRNA, carries the genetic message ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

The approach, called GRAND, uses a second guide RNA to write complementary strands of DNA in targeted genomic locations, resulting in efficient insertions that can be hundreds of base pairs long. Dan ...

on one strand of the DNA and cytosine-thymine-guanine, or CTG, on the complementary strand—begin to repeat over and over, expanding to as many as 40 to 120 copies. The extended copies create ...
