In eukaryotes, genes are transcribed into pre-mRNAs that are subsequently processed into mature mRNAs by adding a 5′-cap and a 3′-polyA tail and splicing introns. Pre-mRNA processing involves their ...
One method cells have to reliably curb the amount of specific proteins at any desired time is the control on mRNA degradation. As the mRNA's tail plays a role in this process, biologists at the Center ...
