Pervasive genome-wide transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) necessitates mechanisms that restrain the quantity and length of the transcripts. A new study investigates a mechanism for inducing early transcription termination, employed primarily at genomic regions producing noncoding RNAs.
