Abstract
In eukaryotes transcription is complicated by the DNA being packed in nucleosomes and by supercoils induced by opening of the DNA double helix during elongation. Here we discuss our recent genome-wide work regarding topoisomerases and their role in chromatin remodeling during the transcription cycle and we report a novel function for topoisomerases in transcription termination.Year: 2011 PMID: 21468231 PMCID: PMC3062396 DOI: 10.4161/trns.2.2.14411
