Transcriptional bursting, gene activation, and roles of SAGA and Mediator Tail measured using nucleotide recoding single cell RNA-seq

The paper develops a time-resolved nascent single-cell RNA-seq approach to study transcriptional bursting and the roles of SAGA and Mediator Tail in yeast genes.

Broad compatibility between yeast UAS elements and core promoters and identification of promoter elements that determine cofactor specificity

The paper investigates the compatibility between yeast UAS elements and core promoters, finding that most UASs can broadly activate promoters but optimal expression requires matching UASs and promoters from the same gene class.
