The ubiquitous redox coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) acts as a noncanonical cap structure on prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribonucleic acids. Here we find that in budding yeast, NAD-RNAs are abundant (>1400 species), short (<170 nt), and mostly correspond to mRNA 5′-ends. The modificat...
