RNA degradation plays a major role in cellular function, but current methods for measuring RNA degradation require RNA purification or are low throughput. Here we show how a flow-FISH assay can be used for high-throughput, in situ measurement of RNA degradation without RNA purification. We demonstrate how this approach can be used to simultaneously measure RNA degradation rates of different RNA sequences in a single assay and explore how the assay can be used to examine the effect of cellular context on RNA degradation rates. This assay will be generally useful to quantitatively measure how natural and engineered biological function depends on RNA half-life.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
