    Bryce E Nickels
    Department of Genetics and Waksman Institute, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA
    J Mol Biol 412:772-81. 2011
    ..In this perspective, we summarize the findings of Goldman et al. and discuss the prospect that nanoRNA-mediated priming of transcription initiation represents an underappreciated aspect of gene expression in vivo...

    Zhanna Berdygulova
    Waksman Institute of Microbiology, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA
    Nucleic Acids Res 40:4052-63. 2012
    ..To our knowledge, gp39 is the first characterized phage-encoded transcription factor that affects every step of the transcription cycle and suppresses transcription termination through its antipausing activity...

    Irina O Vvedenskaya
    Waksman Institute, Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854, USA
    Genes Dev 26:1498-507. 2012
