Short- and long-lived messenger RNA in embryonic chick lens.
Cells of the embryonic chick lens pass through a definite sequence of macromolecular synthesis as they differentiate and migrate from one zone of the organ to another. Auto-radiographic studies of RNA synthesis and protein synthesis show that long-and short-lived messenger RNA's are both present in the lens.
