The poly-A tail is a long chain of adenine nucleotides that is added to a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule during RNA processing to increase the stability of the molecule. Immediately after a gene in ...

Combining transcriptomics, translatomics, and third-generation sequencing to measure mRNA poly(A) tail lengths, the researchers demonstrated that MARTRE proteins protect long-tailed mRNAs from ...

they also observed deadenlyation of mRNA encoding alpha-tubulin — it had a long poly(A) tail and was translated in the oocytes, but the poly(A) tail was removed, and the mRNA was not associated ...
