Non-invasive measurement of mRNA decay reveals translation initiation as the major determinant of mRNA stability
Leon Y Chan, Christopher Frederick Mugler, Stephanie Heinrich…·Karsten Weis
The paper measures mRNA decay in yeast and finds translation initiation, not codon optimality or elongation, determines mRNA stability, with an average half-life of 4.8 minutes.
