Deskripsi

Here the authors decode how core promoter elements regulate rate limiting steps of transcription using quantitative live imaging, genetics and modeling in early Drosophila embryos. TATA-driven promoters require one rate-limiting step while INR promoters need an extra step associated with Pol II pausing.
