Non-invasive measurement of mRNA decay reveals translation initiation as the major determinant of mRNA stability

The cytoplasmic abundance of mRNAs is strictly controlled through a balance of production and degradation. Whereas the control of mRNA synthesis through transcription has been well characterized, less is known about the regulation of mRNA turnover, and a consensus model explaining the wide variation...
