Finding the start site: redefining the human initiator element
Transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is dictated in part by core promoter elements, which are DNA sequences flanking the transcription start site (TSS) that help direct the proper initiation of transcription. Taking advantage of recent advances in genome-wide sequencing approaches, Vo ngoc an...

description | Transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is dictated in part by core promoter elements, which are DNA sequences flanking the transcription start site (TSS) that help direct the proper initiation of transcription. Taking advantage of recent advances in genome-wide sequencing approaches, Vo ngoc and colleagues (pp. 6–11) identified transcripts with focused sites of initiation and found that many were transcribed from promoters containing a new consensus sequence for the human initiator (Inr) core promoter element. |
