Summary Introduction

Introduction: DNA is double-stranded consisting of two anti-parallel strands of nucleotides. Both strands run in 5′-3′ direction and are held by the hydrogen bonds between nucleotide bases. The bases in one strand are complementary to the bases on the other strand. The genetic information of DNA is based in the nucleotide base sequences. Transcription is a process in which the nucleotide sequences of a gene are transcribed into mRNA sequences which code for proteins.
