RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained within DNA to the ribosomes, where the genetic information is synthesized into proteins. There are a variety of different types of RNA ...

Three different types of RNA polymerase exist in eukaryotic cells, whereas bacteria have only one. In eukaryotes, RNA pol I transcribes the genes that encode most of the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs ...

Specifically, in eukaryotes, transcription is achieved by three different types of RNA polymerase (RNA pol I-III). These polymerases differ in the number and type of subunits they contain ...

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute sunburn reactions.
