Reply to comment by kappusha in How many times mRNA transcript can be translated before it's degraded or something like that? by kappusha
Polysome profiling can give us an indication of translation kinetics. Basically, a transcript can have multiple ribosomes actively translating on it at once - so measuring this. Pairing this info with transcriptomic info you can get the rate of translation. And then knowing the transcript's degradation kinetics can give you an estimate.
