The gene csd is the primary signal for sexual development in the honeybee and encodes an SR-type protein
Article Abstract:
The complementary sex determiner (csd) in honeybees is the primary sex- determining signal. At the csd locus males are hemizygous, while females are heterozygous. The csd alleles vary substatially with no transcription differences between sexes. It encodes a serine-arginine-rich protein.

Visualizing gene expression: an unfolding story
Article Abstract:
Eukaryotic transcription is a dynamic process in which DNA templates that is tightly wrapped around histones and is read by RNA polymerases. A glimpse of the events that follow transcriptional induction is provided using an integrated cytological system observed in real time.

Multiple transcript cleavage precedes polymerase release in termination by RNA polymerase II
Article Abstract:
Analysis of human beta- and epsilon-globin genes' nascent transcripts suggest that RNA polymerase II transcription termination occurs by pretermination cleavage and by disengagement of RNA polymerase II from the DNA template.
