Rate of elongation by RNA polymerase II is associated with specific gene features and epigenetic modifications. Artur Veloso, Killeen S. Kirkconnell, Brian Magnuson, Benjamin Biewen, Michelle T. Paulsen, Thomas E. Wilson, and Mats Ljungman, Genome Research, 2014, doi: 10.1101/gr.171405.113
by Elisabeth Paymal In an article published in the journal RNA [1] , Karan Bedi, a bioinformatician in Mats Ljungman’s lab, Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Michigan Medical School, investigated the efficiency of splicing across different human cell types. The results were surprising in that the splicing process appears to be quite…
