title: Stop that Noise and Turn Up the Antisense Transcription.
abstract: Many genes are not only transcribed in the sense direction but also yield antisense transcripts. In this issue of Cell Reports, Huber et al. (2016) report that some of these transcripts may serve to suppress sense transcription and noise.
