What’s the TATA box?

The TATA box is a DNA sequence found in the promoter region that helps initiate transcription of genes in eukaryotes. Transcription factors bind to the TATA box, allowing RNA polymerase to begin transcription. Genes without a TATA box use other promoter sequences for transcription. In living organisms, transcription of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the initial […]
