The Biology of mRNA: Structure and Function
The book provides an overview on the different aspects of gene regulation from an mRNA centric viewpoint, including how mRNA is assembled and self-assembles in a complex consisting of RNA and proteins, and how its ability to be translated at the right tim

Preface
Regulating gene expression is an essential task for every cellular system in which mRNA serves as the central messenger molecule of the gene expression pathway bridging the information stored in DNA and providing the template for protein synthesis. Yet, mRNA is far from a simple copy of genetic information, and the path from its making to serving in proteins synthesis is one of the most complex cellular processes, involving hundreds of fa
