The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.

It mentions techniques such as footprinting and chromatin immunoprecipitation for studying DNA-binding proteins and covers specialized topics, including cell-specific gene expression, imprinted genes, and ribozymes.

It explains that RNA polymerase is responsible for transcription, while ribosomes carry out translation. This simultaneous coordination in bacteria contrasts with eukaryotes, where these processes occur separately in the nucleus and cytosol.

The impact that a single gene’s information can have on an organism, however, is tremendous. Furthermore, organisms have all their genes in each of their cells, but they only need to use the information from a subset of these genes, depending on the type of cell and the cell’s stage of development. Therefore, the key to gene function is controlling its expression.

In eukaryotes, following the formation of the preinitiation complex, the polymerase is released from the other transcription factors, and elongation is allowed to proceed as it does in prokaryotes with the polymerase synthesizing pre-mRNA in the 5' to 3' direction.
