For instance, bacteria contain a single type of RNA polymerase, while eukaryotes (multicellular organisms and yeasts) contain three distinct types. In spite of these differences, there are ...

Eukaryotes transcribe much of their genomes, but little is known about the fidelity of transcriptional initiation by RNA polymerase II in vivo.I suggest that ∼ 90% of Pol II initiation events in ...

Despite polα–primase being the first human polymerase discovered, the way it synthesizes very specific lengths of RNA and DNA in a single strand remained unclear for more than 50 years.

Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction-based assays validated the presence of RNA organisms from viral ... similarities to known viral and eukaryotic polymerases thoroughly evaluated.
