Deskripsi

HIV-1 viral gene expression stochastically switches between active and inactive states. Here, using improved single molecule RNA microscopy, the authors show that HIV-1 RNA stochastic transcription is achieved by groups of closely spaced polymerases, and is regulated by Mediator and TBP at different time scales.
