| umls-concept:C0040649 | skos:definition | MSH: The biosynthesis of RNA carried out on a template of DNA. The biosynthesis of DNA from an RNA template is called REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION.,CSP: transfer of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA by DNA-directed RNA polymerase; includes reverse transcription and transcription of early and late genes expressed early in an organism's life cycle or during later development.,NCI: The process of synthesizing messenger RNA (mRNA) from DNA.,NCI: A genetic process in which single-stranded RNA with base sequence complementary to a region of plus strand DNA is synthesized by DNA-dependent RNA polymerases. Following the binding of RNA polymerase on DNA promoter regions, the RNA product is synthesized in a 5' to 3' direction, elongating RNA along the DNA strand as the polymerase proceeds, accompanied by unwinding and rewinding of the DNA template. | lld:umls |
