XACT-seq: A photocrosslinking-based technique for detection of the RNA polymerase active-center position relative to DNA in Escherichia coli

Summary: XACT-seq (“crosslink between active-center and template sequencing”) is a technique for high-throughput, single-nucleotide resolution mapping of RNA polymerase (RNAP) active-center positions relative to the DNA template. XACT-seq overcomes limitations of approaches that rely on analysis of...
