Transcription-associated recombination is linked to the ability of the RNA polymerase to interfere with fork progression, either by physically obstructing the fork or by promoting DNA synthesis ...

Once transcription is initiated, the DNA double helix unwinds and RNA polymerase reads the template ... through a mechanism similar to rho-dependent termination in bacteria. Transcription of ...

However, the behind-the-scenes process of analyzing forensic DNA is far more intricate, requiring careful interpretation of the data. Forensic DNA profiling uses polymerase chain reaction ...

ATP-dependent RNA ligases join 3’-OH and 5’-PO 4 RNA termini via three nucleotidyl transfer steps similar to those of DNA ligases: (Step 1) ligase reacts with ATP to form a covalent ...

This unwinding of the helix is caused by an enzyme (helicase enzyme). The enzyme RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA in a non-coding region just before the gene. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA ...
