01
Overview
RNA synthesis, also known as transcription, is the biological process by which genetic information encoded in DNA is copied into a complementary RNA molecule. This process is fundamental to gene expression and occurs in all living cells. It involves initiation, elongation, and termination steps, utilizing RNA polymerase enzymes. Transcription is tightly regulated and serves as a target for various therapeutic interventions, particularly in infectious diseases.
