Widespread skewed expression of mRNA components correlate with fine tuning of protein production

Wednesday, December 16, 2015 - 12:09 in Biology & Nature

In numerous tissues and genes, the researchers found lopsided ratios in two parts of mRNA transcripts of genes, one of which carries the code for a protein and one that doesn’t. They suspect some of these skewed ratios may help control protein production, particularly in the embryo, but also in the adult. More »
