Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The promoter region of the gene ( eIF -2α) for eukaryotic initiation factor 2α ( eIF -2α) was isolated from a human genomic library and its structure was determined by restriction mapping and nucleotide (nt) sequence analysis. The promoter region and twelve in vivo transcriptional start points ( tsp ) have been identified by endonuclease S1 mapping and their location confirmed by primer-extension analysis, using RNA isolated from human cells. The untranslated leader is 102 to 140 nt long depending upon the tsp, and the 5' region of the mRNA has the potential for forming stable stem-loop structures. The nt sequence of the regions upstream and downstream from the tsp contains neither a ‘TATA box’ nor a ‘CAAT box’, but does contain several direct and inverted repeats, as well as palindromic sequences near the tsp. In addition, multiple consensus binding sites for a wide variety of regulatory proteins are present throughout upstream and downstream tsp -flanking regions.
