Alternative polyadenylation transcriptome-wide association study identifies APA-linked susceptibility genes in brain disorders

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) contributes to the post-transcriptional regulation of most human genes, yet the effects of APA are largely overlooked by conventional transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS). Here, the authors conduct an APA-TWAS for 11 brain disorders, identifying hundreds of...
