Any process involved in the assembly of the RNA polymerase complex at the promoter region of a DNA template, resulting in the subsequent synthesis of RNA from that promoter. A transcription initiation process that results in RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase II. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a protein complex. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of RNA, ribonucleic acid, one of the two main type of nucleic acid, consisting of a long, unbranched macromolecule formed from ribonucleotides joined in 3',5'-phosphodiester linkage. Includes polymerization of ribonucleotide monomers. A transcription initiation process that results in RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase I. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of proteins on promoter DNA to form the transcriptional preinitiation complex (PIC), the formation of which is a prerequisite for transcription. A transcription initiation process that takes place at a promoter on the mitochondrial chromosome, and results in RNA synthesis by a mitochondrial RNA polymerase. The cellular process by which a protein complex is synthesized, aggregates, and bonds together. Includes the synthesis of the constituent protein molecules, and those protein modifications that are involved in synthesis or assembly of the complex. A transcription initiation process that results in RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase III. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of macromolecules to form a complex. The cellular synthesis of RNA on a template of DNA. The cellular synthesis of either RNA on a template of DNA or DNA on a template of RNA.
