Methods for mRNA Poly(A) Sizing
The poly(A) tail region of an mRNA functions to stabilize the mRNA and enable translation of the protein. Due to its biological importance, the length of the poly(A) tail is typically evaluated as a Critical Quality Attribute for manufactured mRNA medicines. Explore this study, which describes the method developed to evaluate the length of mRNA poly(A) tails via a low-cost, high-throughput three-step method.
