Examples of mRNA decay profiles for each stage determined by microarray analysis

Four example genes were chosen to demonstrate the range of half-lives that can be measured in this experiment. The black dots represent data points from each of the microarray replicates for that time point, including the 0 time point with and without actinomycin D treatment. The colored lines represent the fitted decay curve. The half-life (t) for each example is listed.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Whole-genome analysis of mRNA decay in reveals a global lengthening of mRNA half-life during the intra-erythrocytic development cycle"</p><p>http://genomebiology.com/2007/8/7/R134</p><p>Genome Biology 2007;8(7):R134-R134.</p><p>Published online 7 Aug 2007</p><p>PMCID:PMC2323219.</p><p>
