Mapping the strand-specific transcriptome of fission yeast

Nature Genetics volume 40, pages 935–936 (2008)Cite this article

Pervasive genome-wide transcription is widespread in eukaryotic cells, but key features of the transcriptome have yet to be fully characterized. A new study using antibody-based detection of RNA-DNA duplexes on tiling arrays now reveals a complex, strand-specific transcriptional world in fission yeast.
