Sequence-specific thermodynamic properties of nucleic acids influence both transcriptional pausing and backtracking in yeast.
RNA Polymerase II pauses and backtracks during transcription, with many consequences for gene expression and cellular physiology. Here, we show that the energy required to melt double-stranded nucleic acids in the transcription bubble predicts pausing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae far more accurately...
