Wilhelm Roux's archives of developmental biology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

It is suggested that inhibition of RNA polyadenylylation in sea urchin mesenchyme blastulae causes a disturbance of the transport of all the size classes of newly synthesized RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
