When Size Really Matters: The Eccentricities of Dystrophin Transcription and the Hazards of Quantifying mRNA from Very Long Genes

At 2.3 megabases in length, the dystrophin gene is enormous: transcription of a single mRNA requires approximately 16 h. Principally expressed in skeletal muscle, the dystrophin protein product protects the muscle sarcolemma against contraction-induced injury, and dystrophin deficiency results in th...
