The Set2/Rpd3S pathway suppresses cryptic transcription without regard to gene length or transcription frequency.

In cells lacking the histone methyltransferase Set2, initiation of RNA polymerase II transcription occurs inappropriately within the protein-coding regions of genes, rather than being restricted to the proximal promoter. It was previously reported that this "cryptic" transcription occurs p...
