Determining the Role of a Particular Gene: 3 Mutations

Read this article to learn about the three types of mutations helpful in determining the role of a particular gene. The three types of mutations are: (1) Operator Mutations (2) Repressor Mutations and (3) Structural Gene Mutations. A mutation in any sequence of promoter or structural gene results in changed gene expression, e.g., altered protein, non-transcription etc. Some of the [...]

Gene Expression: Top 3 Things to Know About

This article throws light upon the top three things to know about gene expression. The top three things about gene expression are: (1) RNA Polymerase of Prokaryotes (2) Process of Transcription in Prokaryotes and (3) Process of Transcription in Eukaryotes. Introduction: Transcription is the process by which genetic information from DNA is transferred into RNA. DNA sequence is enzymatically copied [...]
