  1. Overview of transcription - Khan Academy

    Transcription is the first step in gene expression, in which information from a gene is used to construct a functional product such as a protein. The goal of transcription is to make a RNA …

  2. Stages of transcription: initiation, elongation & termination (article ...

    An in-depth looks at how transcription works. Initiation (promoters), elongation, and termination.

  3. Transcription and mRNA processing - Khan Academy

    Transcription is when we take the information encoded in the gene in DNA and encode essentially that same information in mRNA. So transcription we are going from DNA to messenger RNA, …

  4. Eukaryotic pre-mRNA processing | RNA splicing (article) - Khan …

    The molecule that's directly made by transcription in one of your (eukaryotic) cells is called a pre-mRNA, reflecting that it needs to go through a few more steps to become an actual messenger …

  5. Regulation of transcription (video) | Khan Academy

    This process involves transcription factors, activators, enhancers, repressors, and silencers. Prokaryotes rely on gene regulation for environmental adaptation, while eukaryotes have more …

  6. Transcription factors (article) | Khan Academy

    Transcription is the process where a gene's DNA sequence is copied (transcribed) into an RNA molecule. Transcription is a key step in using information from a gene to make a protein.

  7. Les étapes de la transcription (leçon) | Khan Academy

    Un examen approfondi du fonctionnement de la transcription. Initiation (promoteurs), élongation et terminaison.

  8. Types of RNA (article) | Khan Academy

    This article summarizes the different types of RNA, including more well-known RNA like tRNA and ribosomal RNA, and less-known RNA like siRNA that also contribute to cell function.

  9. Transcription and mRNA processing (article) | Khan Academy

    During transcription, a gene's nucleotide sequence (DNA) is copied to form messenger RNA (mRNA), which serves as a temporary blueprint. In eukaryotes, this occurs in the nucleus.

  10. DNA replication and RNA transcription and translation

    Replication creates identical DNA strands, while transcription converts DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA). Translation then decodes mRNA into amino acids, forming proteins essential for life …
