Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing RNA in eukaryotic cells and eventually giving rise to proteins.

A new study captures RNA polymerase II in real time, revealing how it accelerates, pauses and shifts speed as it reads DNA.
