process where DNA is converted into RNA

Gene transcription, also known simply as transcription, is the process by which a cell converts a segment of DNA into RNA. This is a crucial step in gene expression, where the information encoded in a gene is used to produce a functional product, typically a protein. During transcription, an enzyme called RNA polymerase reads the DNA sequence of a gene and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand, which can then be translated into a protein or serve other functions within the cell.
