What is the evolutionary significance of alternative #transcription initiation, #splicing & #polyadenylation? This study of 75 metazoan species suggests that most transcript diversity reflects deleterious RNA processing errors rather than adaptive function @PLOSBiology plos.io/3Pcs2e6
How do select pre-#mRNAs escape 3’ end-processing inhibition by #DNAdamage?
Stephan Vagner and colleagues (Institut Curie) invoke rescue by a #cotranscriptional cleavage that allows subsequent #posttranscriptional #polyadenylation site processing in the nucleoplasm
