The RNA stability is determinated by the balance between its synthesis rates and degradation rates, being the time that the RNA keeps structural integrity and resists degradation. The RNA stability is important because its act as a control point in modulating gene expression, as well as the primary structure order for molecules sequences and its interactions.
