Rohini's & Dima's paper on mRNA multiplexing uploaded to bioRxiv
In the paper, "Multiplexed mRNA assembly into ribonucleoprotein particles plays an operon-like role in the control of yeast cell physiology", they suggest a model of an eukaryotic functional alternative to bacterial operons: in bacteria a single gene encodes several proteins that function in the same complex/pathway. In eukaryotes, mRNAs from separate genes assemble in the nucleus, and co-transported to a sub-cellular destination.
