Modification of program enables prediction of gene transcription
A modification to an "ace" gene prediction program by computer scientists at Washington University in St. Louis now enables scientists to predict the very beginnings of gene transcription start sites and where the first splice occurs thereby defining the first exon of the gene. The modification to the gene prediction software TWINSCAN is called N-SCAN. Michael Brent, Ph.D. professor of com...NYU chemists use computer simulation to enhance understanding of DNA transcription
New York University chemists have employed a computer simulation whose results have enhanced scientific understanding of the DNA transcription process. The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, appears in the June 7 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Previous research has indicated that chromatin--a chromosome's substance consisting of histone prote...Discovering the first steps in transcription-coupled repair
A team of scientists led by Priscilla Cooper, a senior staff scientist in the Life Sciences Division of the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has discovered new players in the first steps of transcription-coupled repair (TCR), an essential but still mysterious mechanism of DNA repair. If a blockage occurs when genetic information from a cell's DNA is being trans...MatBase -- A new transcription factor knowledge base released by Genomatix
Genomatix Software GmbH, a pioneer and leader in the analysis of eukaryotic transcriptional regulation, releases MatBase, a knowledge base of transcription factors (TF). It contains genomic TF binding sites and protein binding domains, related literature, more than 27.000 known TF ?gene interactions, experimentally verified complexes with other TFs (promoter modules), and weight matrix de...When it comes to gene transcription, random pauses aren’t quite so random, study finds
Of the thousands of proteins produced in our cells, few are as important as the enzyme RNA polymerase (RNAP), which has the unique ability to faithfully copy genetic information from DNA. In fact, all organisms--from bacteria to people--depend on RNAP to initiate the complex process of protein synthesis. Despite its crucial role in cell biology, fundamental questions remain about how the RNAP enz...TNT® T7 Quick Coupled Transcription/Translation System from Promega

Priming affects the size and specificity of the cDNA produced. There are three types of primers that may be used for reverse transcription: tail at the 3' end of mammalian mRNA. This primer often produces a fu...High Yield Transcription for Every Application
The MEGAscript Kit is the most frequently cited large-scale transcription kit, and with good reason. It enables the consistent transcription of high yields of full-length RNA (Figure 1). Ambion offers a complete line...DNA transcription to be focused
Biological chemists at the University of north Carolina at Chapel Hill, state about the discovery of how living organisms convert genetic instructions into action. The UNC scientists have found a previously unknown chemical site on a key enzyme that regulates production of the genetic messenger known as RNA.// When the chemical site is occupied, it markedly speeds up the process by...Rising in career top charts is Medical transcription
India is a country that wakes up to new things and accepts them, although medical transcription is not so popular it is fast catching up.// Here doctors maintain there records in papers and are not well stocked in most cases. It is treated as just a job to document doctors’ patient records. In contrast, in the US, medical case files are dictated by the doctors and maintained in the ele...Leeds Hospitals to Outsource Medical Transcription Work to India
Hospitals in Leeds are the latest medical trusts facing major losses to outsource medical transcription work to India to save nearly one million pounds a year.// Around 60 specialist posts are to be abolished as part of the outsourcing. Hospitals in Leeds are reported to be facing debts of 84 million pounds. Several other hospitals in Britain have already outsourced such work to India....ZODIAC - MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION
