Control of Messenger Rna Stability

This is the first comprehensive review of mRNA stability and its implications for regulation of gene expression.Key Features* Provides perspectives from both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems* Offers a timely, comprehensive review of mRNA degradation, its regulation, and its significance in the control of gene expression* Discusses the mechanisms, RNA structural determinants, and cellular factors that control mRNA degradation* Evaluates experimental procedures for studying mRNA degradationWritten by experts in the field, Control of Messenger RNA Stability serves both as a reference for specialists in regulation of mRNA stability and as a general introduction for a broader community of scientists.
