Heritable variation of mRNA decay rates in yeast.
Genome research - 1 Dec 2014

Abstract excerpt
Gene expression levels are determined by the balance between rates of mRNA transcription and decay, and genetic variation in either of these processes can result in heritable differences in transcript abundance. Although the genetics of gene expression has been a subject of intense interest, the contribution of heritable variation in mRNA decay rates to gene expression variation has received far less attention....
