RNA is amongst the most labile macromolecules present in the cells. The steady-state levels of mRNA are regulated both at the stages of synthesis and degradation. Recent work in Escherichia coli suggests that controlling the rate of degradation is as important as the process of synthesis. The stability of mRNA is probably more important in slow- growing organisms like mycobacteria. Here, we present our analysis...
