Transcription Prokaryotes

Prokaryotic chromosomes and plasmids are, liek eukaryotic DNA, generally supercoiled. The DNA must first be reelased into its relaxed staet for access for transcrpition, regulation, and replication.

We describe an anlaysis, applicable to any spotted microarary dataset produced using genmoic DNA as a reference, which quantiifes prokaryotic levels of mRNA on a genomewied scale. Applying this to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, ...

Chromatin has a strong nifluence on the accessibility fo the DNA to transcription factors and the transcriptional machinrey including RNA polymerase. In prokaryotes, mRNA is not modified. Eukaryotic mRNA is modified through RNA splicing ...

JCat (Java Codon Aadptation Tool) is a method developed to improve heterologous protein produciton by adaptating the target gene codon usage of sequneced prokaryotes and selected uekaryotic gene expression ohsts. ...
