The below mentioned article provides a short note on DNA repair synthesis. Several types of damages, such as breakage in DNA strand, alteration of base pairs, cross linking of DNA with DNA or cross linking of DNA with proteins and pyrimidine dimer formation etc., may occur in chromosomes. These damages may be caused by mutagens produced within the cell itself [...]

In this article we will discuss about the non-genetic RNA. Non-genetic RNAs (tRNA, rRNA, mRNA) are synthesized on DNA templates through the process of transcription. The enzyme involved in transcription is "DNA dependent RNA polymerase", or simply "RNA polymerase". In E. coli, a single RNA polymerase catalyzes the synthesis of all kinds of RNAs. In eukaryotes, there are at least [...]
