Where does DNA transcription take place? DNA transcription takes place in the nucleus of a cell, which is where DNA is located. The process begins when the enzyme RNA polymerase hooks itself to a specific sequence found on the DNA at a place called the promoter region.
Overview of Post-Transcriptional RNA Splicing. Prokaryotic DNA transcription produces messenger RNA, which is necessary for transfer from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm where translation occurs. In contrast, eukaryotic DNA transcription takes place in a cell's nucleus and produces what is called a primary RNA transcript or pre-messenger RNA. Before eukaryotic products of transcription can be moved into the cytoplasm, they must undergo modifications that allow them to become mature messenger RNA.
