abstract：:The carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) code encrypted within the Y1S2P3T4S5P6S7 heptad repeats of RNA polymerase II (Pol2) is deeply rooted in eukaryal biology. Key steps to deciphering the code are identifying the events in gene expression that are governed by individual "letters" and then defining a vocabulary of multile...
