    Hazing of French military pilot at 1,000 hours flight time. Hazing (American English), initiation, [1] beasting [2] (British English), bastardisation (Australian English), ragging (South Asian English) or deposition refers to any activity expected of someone in joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them regardless of a person's willingness to ...

  3. Eukaryotic transcription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_transcription

    t. e. Eukaryotic Transcription. Eukaryotic transcription is the elaborate process that eukaryotic cells use to copy genetic information stored in DNA into units of transportable complementary RNA replica. [1] Gene transcription occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Unlike prokaryotic RNA polymerase that initiates the transcription of ...

  4. Transcriptional regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcriptional_regulation

    transcriptional regulation – controlling the rate of gene transcription for example by helping or hindering RNA polymerase binding to DNA. transcription – the process of making RNA from a DNA template by RNA polymerase. transcription factor – a substance, such as a protein, that contributes to the cause of a specific biochemical reaction ...

  5. Transcription preinitiation complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_pre...

    Transcription preinitiation complex, represented by the central cluster of proteins, causes RNA polymerase to bind to target DNA site. The PIC is able to bind both the promoter sequence near the gene to be transcribed and an enhancer sequence in a different part of the genome, allowing enhancer sequences to regulate a gene distant from it.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazing_in_Greek_letter...

    For example, the Arizona Revised Statutes provides the following definition: [5] "Hazing" means any intentional, knowing or reckless act committed by a student, whether individually or in concert with other persons, against another student, and in which both of the following apply: (a) The act was committed in connection with an initiation into ...

  7. Initiator element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiator_element

    The initiator element (Inr) is the most common sequence found at the transcription start site of eukaryotic genes. It is a 17 bp element. Inr in humans was first explained and sequenced by two MIT biologists, Stephen T. Smale and David Baltimore in 1989. [2] Their research showed that Inr promoter is able to initiate basal transcription in ...

  8. RNA polymerase II holoenzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase_II_holoenzyme

    The preinitiation complex (PIC) is a large complex of proteins that is necessary for the transcription of protein-coding genes in eukaryotes and archaea.The PIC helps position RNA polymerase II over gene transcription start sites, denatures the DNA, and positions the DNA in the RNA polymerase II active site for transcription.

  9. Effort justification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effort_justification

    Effort justification. Effort justification is an idea and paradigm in social psychology stemming from Leon Festinger 's theory of cognitive dissonance. [1] Effort justification is a person's tendency to attribute the value of an outcome they put effort into achieving as greater than the objective value of the outcome.
