title: Life after transcription--revisiting the fate of messenger RNA.
abstract: Recently, several groups have used high-density DNA microarrays to study mRNA turnover. These new data suggest that decay contributes significantly to determining mRNA levels, and they should prompt us to refocus our attention on the regulatory potential of mRNA decay.
