In a paper published in the journal Genes and Development on July 10, an IBS research team presents mTAIL-seq, a hyper-sensitive, upgraded tool to measure poly(A) tail length of mRNAs at the genomic scale. By revealing the dynamic poly(A) regulation during the translation of RNA into protein, the study advances our understanding of the fabric of life, from the color of your skin to how tall you will grow.
