  • RNA polymerase II stalling: loading at the start prepares genes for a sprint.

    Wu JQ, Snyder M. Genome Biol. 2008; 9 (5): 220

    Stalling of RNA polymerase II near the promoter has recently been found to be much more common than previously thought. Genome-wide surveys of the phenomenon suggest that it is likely to be a rate-limiting control on gene activation that poises developmental and stimulus-responsive genes for prompt expression when inducing signals are received.
