Transcription Termination

Appropriate and efficient termination of transcription by the RNA polymerases I, II and III (Pol I, II, and III) is desirable for several reasons: while energy conservation and the avoidance of producing unwanted transcripts in the nucleus may be a signif

Preface

This book on the molecular gearings of fission yeast is cordially dedicated to Carsten Bresch, Michi Egel-Mitani, Herbert Gutz, Paul Nurse, Amar Klar, and Urs Leupold. With these candid personalities - all influential to the casting of my professional and private career - I had the good fortune of sharing coauthorship at very significant steps towards developing a sensible touch for the subtle charm of this wonderful model organism (Bresch et al. 1968; Egel and Egel-Mitani 1974; Egel and Gutz 1981; Beach et al. 1982; Egel et al. 1984; Leupold et al. 1989). As to the timing of the book, repeated queries from participants at our Copenhagen EMBO courses on Molecular Genetics with the Fission Yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe have indicated that a collective treatise on this subject would be highly welcome. This initial impression was overwhelmingly confirmed by the enthusiastic consent I
