Transcription termination is one of the least-understood processes in gene expression. However, recent studies have revealed common themes and principles between models of RNA polymerase II (Pol ...

Emerging evidence points towards RNA polymerase II promoter-proximal pausing as a widespread regulatory mechanism in higher eukaryotes. Here, the authors discuss the evidence for this from genome ...

RNA polymerase II 3 transcribes protein-coding genes into messenger RNA (mRNA). This 12-subunit enzyme works as a complex that directly influences gene expression through its production of pre-mRNA ...

Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion.

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the ...

What am I looking at? This is a 3D rendering of an RNA polymerase II enzyme from baker’s yeast, created using actual molecular data to reconstruct its shape and active sites. What looks like a ...
