Integrative analysis of the Trypanosoma brucei gene expression cascade predicts differential regulation of mRNA processing and unusual control of ribosomal protein expression

Table 2 Optimised transcription rates for selected polycistronic units. Rates of transcription were optimised using mRNA half-life and abundance data to get the best fit, using model PC-B. For each pair of transcription units, divergent transcription initiates within a common region
