Eukaryotic Transcription: What Does It Mean for a Gene to Be 'on'?

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

Until recently, transcription could only be observed by measuring mRNA production of cell populations, thus obscuring the kinetics at the level of individual transcription events. A new study now shows that eukaryotic transcription, visualised in individual living cells, occurs in bursts - much as it does in prokaryotes.
