The mRNA that is created in the process of transcription comprises a sequence of nucleotides. A set of three-letter combinations of nucleotides is called a codon. Codons can either encode a specific ...

A DNA transcription unit is composed, from its 3' to 5' end, of an RNA-coding region (pink rectangle) flanked by a promoter region (green rectangle) and a terminator region (black rectangle).

It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation. Here, we describe the processes of transcription and translation as they take place in eukaryotic cells. We've ... Transcription vs ...
