Transcription is the first step in gene expression in which genetic information is copied from a DNA to an RNA format. Transcription is controlled by proteins known as transcription factors that regulate the expression of genes.
Recent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing are producing exciting new insights into cell diversity within different tissues and cancers. Listen in to hear Dr Gonçalo Castelo-B...
