Bioinformatic analysis of the function of mRNA poly(A) tails

Every molecular biology textbook will tell you that messenger RNAs are appended by a 200-250 nucleotide poly(A) tail in the nucleus and exported to the cytoplasm, where the poly(A) tail promotes translation of the mRNA and is gradually removed. Read more
