Genetic transcription plays an important role in medicine. A new study found that in bacteria, damage to DNA from stressors can occur when the replisome collides with the RNA polymerase, generating breaks in DNA strands. This reveals that RNA polymerase may be responsible for genomic instability. Researchers also discovered a specific genetic signature in arterial plaques that is linked to stroke. Identifying these genetic signatures may help develop new treatments by allowing researchers to determine which plaques are dangerous. Understanding genetic transcription and how diseases relate to alterations in DNA can help prevent and treat human diseases.

4. Genetic transcription plays a major role in several medical fields. Thats why every single research and result must be analyzed and understood Introduction

5. New Mechanism of Genomic Instability Revealed August 21, 2011

6. In order to achieve a well-understanding on genomic instability, researchers designed an investigation to determinate how bacteria react to different stressors.

7. Results suggest that an important connection between replisome and RNA polymerase respect to DNA strand breaks; the first is responsable of a collision to a RNA polymerase backwards, generating that DSBs.

8. The results of this investigation lead the researchers community to understand that ribosome is the first entity that can identifies the damage done to the cell.

9. The only way to stabilize different genomic mechanism is knowing how exactly the bacteria dissorders the internal cell functions. This way different threatment can be developed in this medical field. Obsevation

10. Genetic 'Signature' Discovered in Plaque, Possible Key to Future Treatment August 5, 2011

11. By researching, a particular genetic signature related to plaques and stroke was found. Acknowledging this, investigators develop multiple options of future treatments.

12. Using micro RNAs genetic signatures investigators were allowed to replicate and determinate which plaque on artery walls was dangerous.

13. All efforts of researches are the focused to control and disarm dangerous plaques and factors that lead to stroke or other diseases.

14. The fact that only strokes patients present miRNA, leads the medical community to a clearer picture and understanding of this diseases conditions, prevention and actual treatment Obsevation

15. Medical Utility

16. Genetic transcription occurs every day on all human beings. Therefore medicine must investigate and know about the topic.

17. Because every single pathology on human is related to DNA, the alteration and acknowledging of the same can prevent and treat some diseases.

18. Only backgrounded and respectable researches allow the medical community to take accurated decisions and clearer analysis on several human and medical fields.
