In order to understand the transcriptional control of genome function, we must develop a detailed knowledge of the molecular interactions whereby transcriptional proteins recognize and interact with their specific target base pair sequences among the millions of sequences present in the superficially monotonic double-helical DNA of the genome. Most of the interactions that control cellular function and development in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes involve an orderly and progressive succession of DNA—protein interactions. The fraction of these interactions that control transcription are programmed to produce the required messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, in proper amounts and with appropriate stabilities, in response to triggering signals about which we still know almost nothing (except in a few special cases).
