Proteins called transcription factors are involved in the initiation stage of transcription


Explanation;

Transcription factors are proteins that help turn specific genes "on" or "off" by binding to nearby DNA.

Transcription factors that are activators boost a gene's transcription while the repressors decrease transcription.

These factors allow cells to perform logic operations and combine different sources of information to "decide" whether to express a gene
