Abstract

Recent developments in transcriptome-wide sequencing technologies have enabled the identification of cellular mRNA decay intermediates. Although canonical mRNA decay has been shown to occur by deadenylation followed by decapping and subsequent exonucleolytic decay from both mRNA ends, a study by Mourelatos and colleagues now defines mRNA fragments that are generated on polysomes by endonucleolytic cleavages phased by the associated ribosome.
