Abstract
Transcription is a process by which the rate of RNA synthesis is regulated. Here we describe the techniques for carrying out promoter-reporter assays, electrophoretic mobility shift assays, chromosome conformation capture (3C) assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, and CRISPR-Cas9 assay, five commonly used methods for studying and altering gene transcription.
