^aThe level of poly(A) tails was determined by separately integrating all bands >10 nt and ≤10 nt as shown in Figure 1 using ImageQuant TL 5.2 software (see ‘Materials and Methods' section). The pixel counts for the respective group of bands in the wild-type control were set at one.

ND = not detected.
