#11753 Definition of 'deadenylation involved in gene silencing by miRNA'

[rach_huntley]

Hi David,

I've just looke at the definition of the new term you made and it reads a little odd;
"Shortening of the poly(A) tail of a nuclear-transcribed mRNA following miRNA to mRNA, resulting in destabilization of the mRNA and a redunction in the efficiency of its translation."

Is there a word missing around "following miRNA to mRNA" - "following miRNA binding to mRNA" perhaps?

Also 'reduction' is spelled wrong.

Thanks!
Rachael.

Thanks for spotting. Now fixed.
