Abstract
⺠We study the kinetics of genes are driven by closely spaced promoters in E. coli. ⺠We use a model at the molecule and nucleotide level with delayed stochastic dynamics. ⺠Interference between polymerases correlates the production of the two RNAs. ⺠The correlation depends on the geometry, the distance between TSSs and repressors. ⺠The sequence between two adjacent TSS may be subject to strong selective pressure.
