Widespread skewed expression of mRNA components correlate with fine tuning of protein production

In numerous tissues and genes, the researchers found lopsided ratios in two parts of mRNA transcripts of genes, one of which carries the code for a protein and one that doesn’t. They suspect some of these skewed ratios may help control protein production, particularly in the embryo, but also in the adult. More »
