Poly(A) Length and Translatability of the mRNA: A Clam Story Interestingly, they also observed deadenlyation of mRNA encoding alpha-tubulin — it had a long poly(A) tail and was translated in the ...

Wang and her team were interested in synthesizing different kinds of RNA, which is normally in a linear form with a single polyA tail that is important for protein production. This tail is the ...

The remaining exons are then spliced together, and the spliced mRNA molecule (red) is prepared for export out of the nucleus through addition of an endcap (sphere) and a polyA tail. Once in the ...
