The effect of controlled RNA turnover on gene expression can be extremely significant, for example, some studies have shown that 40–50% of changes in gene expression occur at the level of RNA stability. 1 In multicellular organisms, it is increasingly evident that degradation of specific mRNAs is critical for the regulation of many cellular processes, including early development, in
