This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Built for iOS 11, requires iOS 10. Basic app is the same: the only simulation of how the genetic information in DNA is copied to RNA in cells.

Built for iOS 6-8, including 64-bit processors. Eliminated potential annoyance in low memory condition. Will never ask for a review, but we'd still love to get one from you. Added video preview to App Store description.

Have made only minor tweaks that don't affect basic working of the app since last update. Launch image fixed. Can view other OnScreen Science apps' store listings without exiting the app. OnScreen Gene Transcription and the other apps in our suite of DNA Apps (DNA Model, DNA Replication, & Retrovirus) have now been updated so users can jump from one of the apps to any other installed on the same iPad without having to leave the app and search through screens and icons.

OnScreen Gene Transcription and the other apps in our suite of DNA Apps (DNA Model, DNA Replication, & Retrovirus) are being updated so users can go from one app to another without having to leave the app and search through screens and icons. This update makes the necessary changes to accomplish that, once the other apps have been similarly updated.

Ready for iOS 7 (See screen shots). Requires at least iOS 6. Older version for iOS 5 (almost identical) can also be downloaded to run on an original iPad. Just start usual download procedure, and you'll be prompted to choose earlier version.. The model, simulations, and content are identical running on iOS 7 and iOS 6. Only the user interface elements (buttons etc.) differ in appearance.

Corrected the discussion of the pyrophosphatase enzyme where it was erroneously stated (based on superseded measurements) that the adding of a nucleotide to a nucleic acid chain was by itself not favored thermodynamically, when in fact it is slightly favored. The crucial importance of pyrophosphatase in keeping pyrophosphate concentration low in the cell remains, so the change is not very significant to the discussion. Modified the ends of the DNA sequence to conform to those in the OnScreen DNA Replication app. The simulation is unchanged.

Fixes a bug where commentary view could go blank under low memory conditions. Resetting to initial DNA state while simulation is running now restores all hydrogen bond indicators in the Sequence View. Tested with iOS 6.

Optimized to look even better on new iPad Retina display.
