Transcription is the first step of DNA based gene expression, wherein a segment (or whole) of a gene's DNA segment is copied (transcribed) into RNA, with the help of a group of enzymes called RNA Polymerases. RNA Polymerases use a single-stranded DNA template to synthesize a complementary strand of RNA. Specifically, RNA polymerase builds an RNA strand in the 5' to 3' direction, adding each new nucleotide to the 3' end of the strand. |
