Curves were fitted to the decay of VSG mRNA (pink), length of poly(A)-tail (dark blue) and m6A levels (light blue). Curves in which the measured variable decayed from T=0hr were called “One phase”. Those in which the measured variable decayed only after an initial constant period were called “Biphasic”.
