title: Catching the waves: following the leading edge of elongating RNA polymerase II.
abstract: By precisely tracking the waves of elongating RNA polymerase II (Pol II) during gene activation, Danko et al. (2013), in this issue of Molecular Cell, discovered a surprising diversity of elongation rates among and along human genes.
