How is RNA made from DNA during transcription?

Transcription and translation are the means by which cells read out, or express, the genetic instructions in their genes. read more

Transcription is the process by which RNA is made from DNA. The RNA that is made during transcription will be used later during translation. During translation, the RNA's code will be used to make proteins. There are three main stages of transcription: initiation, elongation, and termination. These three stages are explained below. read more

Transcription, the process by which RNA is synthesized from DNA, is initiated by transcription factors—proteins and other molecules that enable DNA to be unwound and accessed for transcription. Transcription starts at the promoter, a region that initiates a gene where the enzyme RNA Polymerase initially binds. read more
