Transcription biology

The first step of transcription is the binding of the enzyme RNA polymerase to DNA at the start of a gene. The two DNA strands separate because the hydrogen bonds between complementary bases are broken.

Elastin. It's a term many families affected by WS recognize immediately, yet in regards to what it really is, many may not fully understand. Elastin is a famous term used in the WS world because it is used to obtain a diagnosis using a FISH test. So what is elastin and how does it cause some of the more famous symptoms of WS? In this blog post- and on my webcast through the Williams Syndrome Association- we'll explore the ELN gene, how it is used by the body and its role in many WS symptoms…

Microbial Genetics Transcription

What is Translation? Once transcription occurs translation has to then do its job in the ribosomes by taking the base code of a mRNA molecule and translating a peptide into a chain of amino acids. This is how it works: Molecules of mRNA come out of the nucleus then go to the ribosomes where codons are translated by tRNA molecules into amino acids. this is done by the RNA's specific code where three nucleotides, called a codon, are arranged to with the directions for the amino acid that…

What is the difference between Transcription and Translation? Transcription involves the production of RNA from DNA while translation involves the protein..
