STRESS-SPECIFIC GENOME-WIDE PROGRAMS OF GENES AND ENHANCERS Cells are exposed to various types of cytotoxic stress including oxidative stress, elevated temperatures and toxins. Surviving stressful conditions requires extensive reprogramming of transcription, which involves both upregulation and downregulation of genes. Heat shock has provided an excellent model to investigate how nascent transcription is regulated in cells…
