Abstract excerpt
In order to study the intragenic profiles of active transcription, we determined the relative levels of active RNA polymerase II present at the 3'- and 5'-ends of 261 yeast genes by run-on. The results obtained indicate that the 3'/5' run-on ratio varies among the genes studied by over 12 log(2) units. This ratio seems to be an intrinsic characteristic of each transcriptional unit and does not significantly...
