Decay profiles of the entire genome and of genes regulated by a stability and a de-stability motif. (a) Decay profile of the entire genome; the black curve shows the genome average profile. (b) Decay profiles of the target gene set of the destabilizing motif M1 (green), which has a mean half-life of 16 mins, and the stabilizing motif M11 (red), which has a half-life of 46.5 mins. The mean half-lives are marked by arrows. Expression data profiles, as well as half-lives computed using a fit to an exponential function, are from Wang et al. [14].
