Chromatin endogenous cleavage provides a global view of yeast RNA polymerase II transcription kinetics An alternative method for mapping RNA polymerase II occupancy over the genome provides new insights into the kinetics and molecular mechanism of transcription.

Congratulations to Jake VanBelzen on successfully defending his PhD thesis and the publication of his beautiful paper providing new global insights into the kinetics of RNA polymerase II transcription!
