Chance promoter activities illuminate the origins of eukaryotic intergenic transcriptions
It is debated whether the pervasive intergenic transcription from eukaryotic genomes has functional significance. Here, Xu et al. find that only 1–5% of yeast intergenic transcription is unattributable to chance promoter activity or neighboring gene expression.
