Human promoter directionality is determined by transcriptional initiation and the opposing activities of INTS11 and CDK9

The paper shows that sense transcription is more efficient than antisense initiation and that CDK9 and INTS11 opposingly maintain directionality in mammalian promoters.

Characterisation of the RNA-interference pathway as a Tool for Genetics in the Nascent Phototrophic Endosymbiosis, Paramecium bursaria

The paper identifies and validates the RNAi pathway in Paramecium bursaria, showing its role in feeding-induced gene knock-down and endosymbiosis genetics.
