Transcription regulation during stable elongation by a reversible halt of RNA polymerase II

Transcription regulation models focus on initiation or termination. Transcription can also be halted gene specifically during stable elongation by a heat shock, and the transcription halt can be resumed later under permissive conditions. Thus cells have much wider access to control transcription than is covered by existing models.
