要旨:
The mechanisms that control the transcription of DNA to produce
RNA and the building blocks of life, proteins, are a fundamental
cellular process in all living organisms. Dr Andreas Mayer at the Max
Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Germany has spent more
than a decade unravelling these complex processes. Using newly
developed high-resolution genome-wide techniques, his team is
discovering the vital role that RNA polymerase II transcription plays
in stem cell differentiation, where a cell changes from one cell type
to another usually to perform a more specialist function.
