Stowers scientists manipulate the Set2 pathway to show how genes are faithfully copied

24-Aug-2012

The first step in gene expression is the exact copying of a segment of DNA by the enzyme known as RNA polymerase II, or pol II, into a mirror image RNA. Scientists recognize that pol II does not transcribe RNA via a smooth glide down the DNA highway but instead encounters an obstacle course of ...
