Spatial mapping of RNA turnover kinetics in the mouse brain

Reports a spatial NT-seq method that maps RNA synthesis and decay across intact mouse brain tissue to reveal region-specific RNA turnover dynamics and responses to stimulation.

Key Takeaways
  • Gene regulation requires coordinated control of RNA synthesis and degradation
  • Which governs how rapidly transcripts are produced and degraded
  • Dysregulation of RNA turnover and stability has been implicated in neurodevelopmental
