A reverse time-course method for transcriptional chase analyses of mRNA half-lives in cultured cells.
Standard methods for assessing mRNA stabilities in intact cells are labor-intensive and can generate half-life (t(1/2)) measures that are both imprecise and inaccurate. We describe modifications to a conventional tetracycline-conditional transcriptional chase method for analyzing mRNA stability that...
