(November 2016) </Td> </Tr> <P> Eukaryotic transcription is the elaborate process that eukaryotic cells use to copy genetic information stored in DNA into units of RNA replica . Gene transcription occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells . Unlike prokaryotic RNA polymerase that initiates the transcription of all different types of RNA, RNA polymerase in eukaryotes (including humans) comes in three variations, each encoding a different type of gene . A eukaryotic cell has a nucleus that separates the processes of transcription and translation . Eukaryotic transcription occurs within the nucleus where DNA is packaged into nucleosomes and higher order chromatin structures . The complexity of the eukaryotic genome necessitates a great variety and complexity of gene expression control . </P> <P> Transcription is the process of copying genetic information stored in a DNA strand into a transportable complementary strand of RNA . Eukaryotic transcription takes place in the nucleus of the cell and proceeds in three sequential stages: initiation, elongation, and termination . The transcriptional machinery that catalyzes this complex reaction has at its core three multi-subunit RNA polymerases . RNA polymerase I is responsible for transcribing RNA that codes for genes that become structural components of the ribosome . </P>
