Trick and TREAT: Visualising mRNA turnover

Gene expression is just part of the story. After transcription, mRNA embarks on a journey out of the nucleus, undergoing many processes along the way, to the cytoplasm where translation can take place. Not all mRNA that is synthesised gets translated into protein, quite a lot of mRNA don’t make it. Instead they get degraded. […]
