(Phys.org) —RNA encodes the proteins that play a key role in cellular reproduction, but the manner in which cells regulate RNA's removal once proteins are synthesized remains a mystery. One piece of this mystery has been solved by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who have identified the steps by which a cell removes RNA from the cytoplasm.
