During transcription, genetic information is transferred from DNA to mRNA, the process being catalyzed by DNA‐dependent RNA polymerase. Transcription comprises binding of the RNA polymerase to DNA, initiation, elongation, and termination. The interplay of the positive and negative control elements of these processes is illustrated for bacteria and bacteriophages.
