Transcription and Gene Regulation

This article explores the process of transcription and gene regulation, including the molecular model of DNA and RNA, and the various levels of control in gene expression, such as chromatin modifications, transcription initiation, mRNA stability, translation, post-translational processing, and protein stability.
