Promoter sequences are DNA sequences that define where transcription of a gene by RNA polymerase begins. Promoter sequences are typically located directly upstream or at the 5' end of the ...

Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA—that molecular blueprint for life—over 70 ...

DNA sequences that regulate expression of the insulin gene are located within a region spanning ~400 bp that flank the transcription start site. This region, the insulin promoter, contains a ...

The genetic code is universal and contains the instructions for all life on Earth. But the diversity of life relies on more than just the genetic code itself — it also relies on the variety of ...

New research has filled in gaps in the original soybean reference genome, identifying thousands of transcription initiation ...

by linking the four nucleotide bases comprising DNA—A, T, C, and G—into a particular genetic sequence. Making these sequences is time-consuming and expensive, though, and the longer your ...

Genes also contain regulatory sequences, such as promoters and enhancers, which control when and where the gene is expressed. These sequences interact with transcription factors and other regulatory ...

During transcription, proteins bind to sequences of DNA, such as promoters and enhancers, inside the cell to directly impact ...

with the first referring to the generally recognized E1 and E2 boxes and the second number representing all CANNTG sequences up to position –400 or the 5' limit of available promoter sequence.
