Initial transcriptome analyses were limited to the quantification of the transcripts that correspond to known features, such as mRNA genes or stable non-coding RNAs. Projects aimed at the ...

Therefore, while bacteria accomplish transcription of all genes using a single kind of RNA polymerase, the use of different sigma factor subunits provides an extra level of control. Eukaryotic ...

The differences are summarized in Table 1, below. Table 1: Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotic cells, transcription and translation are coupled, meaning translation begins ...

In eukaryotic cells like human cells, transcription occurs in the nucleus, and the resulting mRNA is then transported to the cytoplasm for translation. Additionally, eukaryotic mRNA often ...
