Co-transcriptional RNA processing boosts zygotic gene activation

Jingzhao Xu, Xiaojing Li, Xiaowen Hao, Xinyun Hu, Shaoqian Ma, Yantao Hong, Jing Zhang, Dingfei Yan, Haiteng Deng, Jie Na, Xiong Ji, Zai Chang, Xiaohua Shen

This study shows that co-transcriptional RNA processing via the CTD of Pol II is essential for zygotic gene activation, as disrupting it halts mRNA synthesis and increases noncoding RNA levels.
