What's the difference between transcribe and translate?

Transcribe


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To write over again, or in the same words; to copy; as, to transcribe Livy or Tacitus; to transcribe a letter.

Example Sentences:

  • (15) To determine which enzymes are responsible for the processing cleavages of ribosomal RNA transcripts in Escherichia coli, we constructed a mutant strain lacking RNAase III and containing a thermolabile RNAase P.

  • (16) RNA transcribed by RNA polymerase II on denatured DNA was only large RNA around 28S.

  • (18) In addition, the transcriptional behaviour of this tRNALeuCUG gene in various in vitro systems is described and it seems that, although the gene is transcribed in all test systems, the very A + T-rich 5'-flanking sequence of this particular gene may be somewhat inhibitory to transcription in vitro.
  • (19) A combination of techniques for reverse transcribing mRNA into cDNA and the incorporation of 32P-gamma ATP into the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-generated fragments allowed us to detect beta 2-AR mRNA in surgically excised thyroid specimens.
  • (20) A new repetitive DNA region was identified in the non-transcribed spacer of human rDNA, namely a long (4.6 kb) sequence motif (Xbal element) was present in two copies.

Translate


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To bear, carry, or remove, from one place to another; to transfer; as, to translate a tree.

  • (v. t.) To remove, as a bishop, from one see to another.
  • (v. t.) To render into another language; to express the sense of in the words of another language; to interpret; hence, to explain or recapitulate in other words.
  • (v. t.) To change into another form; to transform.
  • (v. t.) To cause to remove from one part of the body to another; as, to translate a disease.
  • (v. t.) To cause to lose senses or recollection; to entrance.
  • (v. i.) To make a translation; to be engaged in translation.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) These lysates are comparable to those of Escherichia coli in transcriptional and translational fidelity and efficiency in response to a given template DNA.

  • (10) The sequence results confirm in vitro translation of 27-, 50-, and 37-kDa products but do not account for the observed 90-kDa product.
  • (11) Moreover, nick-translated [32-P]-pCS75, which is a pUC9 derivative containing a PstI insert with L and S subunit genes (for RuBisCO) from A. nidulans, hybridizes at very high stringency with restriction fragments from chromosomal DNA of untransformed and transformed cells as does the 32P-labeled PstI fragment itself.
