In this article, we will discuss about the molecular basis of diabetes, that is caused by mutations in beta cells of pancreas. Diabetes is of two types: type I that is due to deficiency of insulin. Type II that is genetically inherited. We will discuss about the genetic factors and pathways to the causes of disease. Several environmental factors also effect the beta cells to cause the disease.Continue Reading

In this article, we will discuss about the transcription of DNA (synthesis of messenger RNA from DNA). The process of transcription is regulated by DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. One of the two strands of DNA acts as the coding strand and is identical to the single-stranded RNA. The other strand acts as the non-coding strand, complementary to RNA, and acts as a template for the synthesis of mRNA.Continue Reading
