(Phys.org) —Like musicians in an orchestra who have the same musical score but start and finish playing at different intervals, cells with the same genes start and finish transcribing them at different points in the genome.

Their findings, published today in Nature, shed new light on the importance of mRNA boundaries in determining the functional potential of genes.
