Nascent RNA sequencing reveals distinct features in plant transcription

TL;DR: An extensive catalog of nascent and steady-state transcripts in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings was generated using global nuclear run-on sequencing, 5′GRO-seq, and RNA-seq and published maize data to capture characteristics of plant transcription to provide insight into plant transcription and eukaryotic gene expression as a whole.
Journal ArticleDOI

The punctilious RNA polymerase II core promoter.

TL;DR: An expanded view of the core promoter that comprises the classical DNA sequence motifs, sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factors, chromatin signals, and DNA structure is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant synthetic promoters and transcription factors.

TL;DR: The recent advances in synthetic promoters and TFs in plants are reviewed and a speculate on their future is speculated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Promoter analysis and prediction in the human genome using sequence-based deep learning models.

TL;DR: This work further develops the deep learning approach that was relatively successful to discriminate short promoter and non-promoter sequences and predicts the exact positions of the TSS inside the genomic sequences testing every possible location.

ElemeNT: a computational tool for detecting core promoter elements.

TL;DR: The Elements Navigation Tool (ElemeNT) is a user-friendly web-based, interactive tool for prediction and display of putative core promoter elements and their biologically-relevant combinations, and the CORE database summarizes ElemeNT-predicted core promoter Elements near CAGE and RNA-seq-defined Drosophila melanogaster transcription start sites (TSSs).

Divergent Transcription from Active Promoters

TL;DR: Evidence of widespread divergent transcription at protein-encoding gene promoters is presented and it is suggested that Divergent transcription over short distances is common for active promoters and may help promoter regions maintain a state poised for subsequent regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancer function: new insights into the regulation of tissue-specific gene expression.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, cohesin and non-coding RNAs are emerging as crucial players responsible for facilitating enhancer–promoter interactions at some genes and may be required not only to facilitate initiation of transcription but also to activate the release of RNA polymerase II from promoter-proximal pausing.

Promoter sequences of eukaryotic protein-coding genes

TL;DR: Sequences which are essential for the initiation of specific transcription in vitro were shown to be located between 12 and 32 base pairs upstream from the 5' end of these genes.

RNA polymerase stalling at developmental control genes in the Drosophila melanogaster embryo.

TL;DR: It is proposed that Pol II stalling facilitates rapid temporal and spatial changes in gene activity during development and is highly enriched for developmental control genes, which are either repressed or poised for activation during later stages of embryogenesis.
