For example, it is now known that the underlying cause of cancer is “chromosomal instability,” or damage to extragenic structures - not mutations to individual genes.

Pol_II peaks are extremely broad, covering about 20 kb of extragenic sequence with no annotation of known or predicted exons; moreover their height is much lower than that found inside the coding region.

One model supported by experimental data is that extragenic transcription leads to the repeated passage of several

Moreover, much of this extragenic transcription is regulated by stimulation.

We therefore searched our dataset of 2,236 predicted enhancers associated with extragenic Pol_II for enriched TFBSs.

Moreover, extragenic transcription was downregulated when the coding gene reached its maximal level of expression, a result particularly obvious at Cxcl11.

We thus applied this machine-learning algorithm to the dataset of 4,588 extragenic Pol_II peaks described above.

A second expected feature of a ripple effect is that extragenic waves of Pol_II should show continuity with Pol_II elongating from the inducible coding gene.
