Copying genetic information from DNA into RNA in a cell
  • adjective

translation icon : transcripcional
  • One important step toward a thorough understanding of transcriptional regulation is to catalog all regulatory elements in a genome.
  • transcriptional activity
  • transcriptional profiling
  • transcriptional machinery

So somehow the neural stem cells have a young quote UN quote transcriptional profile even though they come from an old animal.

Examples

  • Is the transcriptional output primarily driven by one sensing mechanism, with others playing minimal roles?

    Academic text (2017)

  • Our research focuses on the transcriptional process, which involves copying genetic information from DNA to RNA.

  • And this is all done through transcriptional factor control of gene expression.

  • So what beta Katenin is, among other things, it's a transcriptional Co activator.

  • Nutrients and natural compounds are known to interact with epigenetic phenomena and modify gene expression at the transcriptional level.

    Academic text (2017)

  • These signaling pathways can interact with transcriptional activators and modify what targets they seek in the genome.

  • The results of this work represent a first-generation, relatively unbiased snapshot of the transcriptional activity of the rice genome.

    Academic text (2010)

  • In this study, we showed that Pb exposure induces an NRF2-mediated transcriptional response in neural stem cells.

    Academic text (2016)

  • Taken together, the results presented above indicate that BAT1 and BAT2 have functionally diverged through subfunctionalization of transcriptional regulation under biosynthetic and catabolic conditions.

    Academic text (2017)

  • In our functional study, all eight variants exhibited reduced transcriptional activation of target genes (CYP17A1 and CYP19A1), even when nuclear localization was unaffected.

To copy information from DNA into RNA

has identical meaning but represents a different adjective form

Surface Forms

transcriptional positive

Morphology

transcriptional = transcription (transparent) = trans + script + ion + al

The adjective simply means 'relating to transcription', and the biological sense is directly inherited from that noun.

Etymology

Transcriptional also comes from trans- 'across' and script 'to write', and in biology you can think of a cell 'writing across' the DNA into RNA, much like copying speech into text. So transcriptional in biology is about copying genetic information from DNA to RNA.
