Promoter sequences are DNA sequences that define where transcription of a gene by RNA polymerase begins. Promoter sequences are typically located directly upstream or at the 5' end of the ...

Single-Molecule Footprinting reveals that RNA polymerase II (Pol II) occupancy is infrequent at mouse promoters. This results ...

One distinct feature of transcription factors is that they have DNA-binding domains that give them the ability to bind to specific sequences of DNA called enhancer or promoter sequences.

New analyses find that divergent transcription, in which one promoter directs the expression of two adjacent genes oriented in opposite directions, is conserved across all domains of life. Jack is a ...

In addition, the deletion of TEFM resulted in an increase in transcription initiation from the light-strand promoter, as suggested by higher levels of mitochondrial tRNA Pro, but replication ...
