Single-molecule tracking in live cells reveals distinct target-search strategies of transcription factors in the nucleus
… We found that c-Myc is a global explorer of the nucleus. In contrast, the positive transcription
elongation factor P-TEFb is a local explorer that oversamples its environment. Consequently…
