The pause-initiation limit restricts transcription activation in human cells

Gene activation requires an increase of successful initiation events. Here, by employing a genome-wide kinetic analysis of transcription, the authors showed that gene activation generally requires a decrease in RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) promoter-proximal pausing while transcription of enhancer elem...
