Difference between CpG site and Transcription (biology)

CpG site vs. Transcription (biology)

The CpG sites or CG sites are regions of DNA where a cytosine nucleotide is followed by a guanine nucleotide in the linear sequence of bases along its 5' → 3' direction. Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

Similarities between CpG site and Transcription (biology)

CpG site and Transcription (biology) have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Base pair, DNA, DNA methylation, DNA replication, Enzyme, Genetic hitchhiking, Messenger RNA, MicroRNA, Nucleotide, Promoter (genetics), Thymine, Transcription (biology).

Base pair

A base pair (bp) is a unit consisting of two nucleobases bound to each other by hydrogen bonds.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

DNA methylation

DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule.

DNA replication

In molecular biology, DNA replication is the biological process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule.

Enzyme

Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts.

Genetic hitchhiking

Genetic hitchhiking, also called genetic draft or the hitchhiking effect, is when an allele changes frequency not because it itself is under natural selection, but because it is near another gene that is undergoing a selective sweep and that is on the same DNA chain.

Messenger RNA

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.

MicroRNA

A microRNA (abbreviated miRNA) is a small non-coding RNA molecule (containing about 22 nucleotides) found in plants, animals and some viruses, that functions in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression.

Nucleotide

Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the monomer units for forming the nucleic acid polymers deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), both of which are essential biomolecules within all life-forms on Earth.

Promoter (genetics)

In genetics, a promoter is a region of DNA that initiates transcription of a particular gene.

Thymine

---> Thymine (T, Thy) is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of DNA that are represented by the letters G–C–A–T.
