    Eukaryotic transcription

    The eukaryotic transcription process is a fundamental process for gene expression in eukaryotic cells. This process involves several steps that are tightly regulated and require the coordinated action of multiple proteins and regulatory factors. The initiation step is the first and most critical step in the transcription process. It involves the recruitment of RNA polymerase…
