Abstract excerpt
Expression of nearly all protein coding genes in trypanosomes is regulated post-transcriptionally, predominantly at the level of mRNA half-life. The identification of cis-acting elements involved in mRNA stability has been hindered by a lack of ability to screen for loss-of-regulation mutants. The method described in this article allows the region containing the necessary and sufficient elements within a mRNA to...
