ChIP-nexus enables improved detection of in vivo transcription factor binding footprints

TL;DR: It is shown that Max frequently interacts with DNA sequences next to its motif, and that this binding pattern correlates with local DNA-sequence features such as DNA shape, which will be broadly applicable to the study of in vivo transcription factor binding specificity and its relationship to cis-regulatory changes in humans and model organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paused RNA polymerase II inhibits new transcriptional initiation

TL;DR: Using the recently developed ChIP-nexus method, it is found that Pol II pausing inhibits new initiation and proposed that paused Pol II helps prevent new initiation between transcription bursts, which may reduce noise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thorax closure in Drosophila: involvement of Fos and the JNK pathway

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the mechanism controlling dorsal closure has been co-opted for thorax closure in the evolution of insect metamorphosis is supported and may represent a more widely used functional module for tissue closure in other species as well.
