Introduction to Micro RNAs (miRNA): Micro RNAs were first described for the worm C. elegans in 1993 by Lee and colleagues in the Victor Ambros lab. However, the term [...]
In this article we will discuss about the introduction and mechanisms of translation in eukaryotes. Introduction to Translation in Eukaryotes: The process of protein synthesis from amino acid sequences specified by the sequence of codons in messenger RNA is called translation. Translation is the first stage of protein biosynthesis. The main points about translation in eukaryotes are given below: 1. [...]

Detection. Meaning of Transcription in Prokaryotes: Transcription is the process through which a DNA sequence is enzymaticaly copied by an RNA polymerase to produce a complementary RNA. The synthesis of RNA from [...]
