GO biological process ontology term - GO:0006352 - DNA-templated transcription initiation

Term summary

ID
GO:0006352
Name
DNA-templated transcription initiation
Ontology or CV name
GO biological process
Definition
The initial step of transcription, consisting of the assembly of the RNA polymerase preinitiation complex (PIC) at a gene promoter, as well as the formation of the first few bonds of the RNA transcript. Transcription initiation includes abortive initiation events, which occur when the first few nucleotides are repeatedly synthesized and then released, and ends when promoter clearance takes place.
