PhD student, Benjy Neymotin, post-doctoral fellow Niki Athanasiadou and David Gresham have published a new method for measuring rates of RNA degradation and synthesis genome-wide. RNA Approach to Equilibrium sequencing (RATE-seq) uses metabolic labeling of RNA and next generation sequencing to measure rates of RNA synthesis and decay for all coding and non-coding transcripts in a genome. The work appears in the journal, RNA, and can be accessed here.
