mRNA Decay: Methods and Protocols

This detailed volume explores techniques for researching the diverse and specialized mechanisms for mRNA degradation, both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. From classical methods for studying RNA degradation at the single RNA level to the latest transcriptome-wide approaches involving long-read sequencing and metabolic labeling, this book focuses on methods for eukaryotic models, such as procedures for studying deadenylation, decapping and exoribonuclease activity, assessing RNA decay rate...
