RNA polyadenosine tails are important for the export, translation and stability of mRNAs and play a role in non-coding RNA biogenesis. Here the authors measure yeast poly(A) tail lengths by direct RNA sequencing, revealing its dynamics in yeast exonuclease, deadenylase and poly(A) polymerase mutants.
