Transcription Simplified - from DNA to RNA!

In transcription, we're using DNA to build RNA...but how? What happens during transcription? Don't stress! In this short video, we'll cover the basics - from transcription initiation (getting set up) to elongation (building RNA, in the right direction) to termination (where to stop). #transcription #transcriptioninitiation #transcriptionelongation Related videos you may find helpful: *Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes - Transcription Differences:* https://youtu.be/Ysw4_jwbWyo *Compare DNA and RNA:* https://youtu.be/eXHfQLEnJEY *Label a Transcription Bubble:* https://youtu.be/ddsJf3CkDKk *What do 5' and 3' Mean on DNA and RNA?:* https://youtu.be/cJtuW1yXQ7E *Template/Coding/Sense Strand - What's the Difference?:* https://youtu.be/T0ZQUx8TmtQ In this video, we'll see: 00:00 Intro 00:27 *Genes* are regions of DNA that are transcribed 00:58 Basic *gene structure* 01:20 *RNA* 01:55 What are the *steps* of transcription? 02:18 *Transcription initiation* at the *promoter* 03:22 *RNA polymerase* and *transcription factors* 04:08 Which DNA strand is the *template* for transcription? 04:53 *Transcription elongation* grows the RNA strand 05:10 What types of *bonds* are created during transcription? 05:28 *Direction* of transcription - direction RNA is built vs direction DNA template is read 05:57 DNA template strand is *complementary and antiparallel* to RNA 06:07 *Coding strand* shares the RNA's code 06:48 *Transcription termination* separates the transcriptional machinery from the DNA template and the RNA transcript 07:26 What is the *location* of transcription? 08:03 Transcription *summary graphic* #transcriptiontermination #RNAsynthesis New videos are always on the way - subscribe so you don't miss any of my biology tips :) Connect with me!
