Superabundant microRNAs are transcribed from human rDNA spacer promoters insulated by CTCF
{{output}}
microRNAs are ~22-nucleotide RNAs processed from primary transcripts and exported from the nucleus to repress gene expression by base-pairing to mRNAs. Unexpectedly, we find that the highest levels of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) at human microRNA genes are with... ...
