Periodic Reporting for period 3 - POLYAMACHINES (The polyA machinery: Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of mRNA polyadenylation, deadenylation and RNA recognition)

Our genetic code is translated from DNA into proteins through an intermediate molecule, messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of the amount of mRNA produced, the lifetime of mRNA, and how efficiently the mRNA is translated into protein all control the final amount of protein in the...
