SO:0002047

Definition: Transcription pause sites are regions of a gene where RNA polymerase may pause during transcription. The functional role of pausing may be to facilitate factor recruitment, RNA folding, and synchronization with translation. Consensus transcription pause site have been observed in E. coli.

Comments and references

Moved from transcription_regulatory_region (SO:0001679) to transcriptional_cis_regulatory_region (SO:0001055) by Dave Sant on Feb 11, 2021 when transcription_regulatory_region was merged into transcriptional_cis_regulatory_region to be consistent with GO and reduce redundancy as part of the GREEKC consortium. See GitHub Issue #527.

Change history

This timeline summarizes changes identified in SO’s GitHub commit history, including updates to labels, definitions, parent terms, synonyms, subsets, and obsoletion status. It is a best-effort reconstruction and may not include every change to a term. Since only history from GitHub is included at the moment, any term added before the migration from SVN to Git will show as being created in 2016. This will be addressed once SVN history is incorporated.
