Abstract excerpt
Transcription commonly occurs in bursts, with alternating productive (ON) and quiescent (OFF) periods determining mRNA production rates. However, how bursting dynamics regulate transcription is not well understood. Here, we conduct real-time measurements of endogenous transcriptional bursting with single-mRNA sensitivity. Using the diverse transcriptional activities present in early Drosophila embryos, we find...
