Gene transcription

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-012154

1. The process of copying information from DNA into new strands of messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA then carries this information to the cytoplasm, where it serves as the blueprint for the manufacture of a specific protein.

2. The synthesis of an RNA copy from a sequence of DNA (a gene); the first step in gene expression.
