dsRNA formation leads to preferential nuclear export and gene expression - Nature
Nature· 14 hours agoAntisense RNAs boost gene expression by accelerating the export of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm through the Dbp2-mediated formation of double-stranded RNAs, which might explain the prevalence of antisense RNAs.
