A model explaining mRNA level fluctuations based on activity demands and RNA age.

Cellular RNA levels typically fluctuate and are influenced by different transcription rates and RNA degradation rates. However, the understanding of the fundamental relationships between RNA abundance, environmental stimuli, RNA activities, and RNA age distributions is incomplete. Furthermore, the r...
