| Comments | "The mean half-life of Pol II is 6.9 min, in agreement with the decay rates measured in Drosophila (Henriques et al., 2013 Buckley et al., 2014). Thus, promoter proximal Pol II stability is comparable between species and paused Pol II is relatively stable...[researchers] find that the average half-life of paused Pol II is 7 min, indicating that Pol II pausing is remarkably stable, and not the consequence of fast, repeated rounds of initiation and termination." |
