Deskripsi

Transcription elongation (TE) is a key point of inducible gene expression regulation. Here, the authors report widespread TE defects (TEdeff) in a high proportion of cancers that correlate with poor immunotherapy response, highlighting TE defects as potential routes for immune resistance.
