Investigating the DNA binding properties of the proline rich homeodomain, an oligomeric transcription factor
Genes are the basic units of heredity, containing the DNA code for RNA molecules. Transcription is the process that converts the genetic code of genes into RNA molecules, which then perform a range of functions, including encoding proteins in the case of mRNA.

Summary: | Genes are the basic units of heredity, containing the DNA code for RNA molecules. Transcription is the process that converts the genetic code of genes into RNA molecules, which then perform a range of functions, including encoding proteins in the case of mRNA. Transcription is commonly regulated by proteins known as transcription factors, which can act in either a positive or negative manner. |
