Inhibition of RNA polymerase II transcription in human cells by synthetic DNA-binding ligands.

abstract：:Maize domestication is one of the greatest feats of artificial selection and evolution, wherein a weedy plant in Central Mexico was converted through human-mediated selection into the most productive crop in the world. In fact, the changes were so astounding that it took much of the last century to identify modern mai...
