Roadblock-qPCR: A simple and inexpensive strategy for targeted measurements of mRNA stability

The steadiness of mRNAs is key to figuring out expression degree and dynamics. Nonetheless, present approaches for measuring transcript half-lives (e.g. transcription shutoff) are usually poisonous or technically advanced. Right here we describe an alternate technique for focused measurements of endogenous mRNA stability that’s easy, cheap, and non-toxic. Cells are first metabolically labelled with the…
