mRNA Imprinting: transcription apparatus can remotely control cytoplasmic post-transcriptional mechanisms by dozens of proteins

In this valuable study, the authors develop new approaches to investigate mRNA imprinting, a phenomenon in which RNA-protein complexes form in the nucleus to influence the fate of transcripts in the ...
