A consortium comprising the Campbell Collaboration, the EPPI-Centre, Evaluation for Development Policy (EDePo), the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie),and LSHTM has been awarded the contract for this work.
RNA polymerase is the enzyme that assembles the individual nucleotides to create the RNA strand based on the DNA template. The RNA that is built here can actually be one of three different kinds. You may recall that the three different RNA types are mRNA, rRNA and tRNA. The type that we're concerned with here is mRNA.ere, initiation is the first phase of transcription, during which RNA polymerase attaches to the promoter and begins to build mRNA. The promoter for our keratin gene only exists on one strand of the DNA, which is how we know which strand is the antisense strand.
RNA polymerase uses RNA as a template and DNA polymerase uses DNA as a template b. RNA polymerase does not need to separate the two strands of DNA in order to synthesize RNA, whereas DNA polymerase must separate the DNA strands before it can replicate DNA c.NA polymerase does not need to separate the two strands of DNA in order to synthesize RNA, whereas DNA polymerase must separate the DNA strands before it can replicate...
