This study shows that influenza A virus exploits nuclear RNAi by inducing AGO2 accumulation and silencing type-I interferon genes, and that arsenic trioxide can counteract this effect.

The paper uses live imaging and computational methods to study how promoter motifs affect transcriptional bursting in Drosophila embryos, revealing distinct dynamics for TATA and INR motifs.

The paper investigates how the pioneer factor Zelda controls gene expression timing through transient chromatin interactions in Drosophila embryos.
