Summary Introduction

To determine:

The role that RNA stability play in gene regulation.

Introduction:

The regulation of gene expression is done by the pre-mRNA processing and degradation of mRNA. The pre-mRNA processing involves the removal of introns (non coding part of DNA) which is present between the exons (coding part of DNA) and the remaining exons are joined with each other which results in formation of mature RNA.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The factors that control RNA stability in eukaryotic cells.

Introduction:

Splicing, addition of 3 poly-A tail and capping at 5 end of mRNA are the major modifications which occur during the mRNA processing. There are some factors which are involved in the degradation of mRNA.
