APA-Scan: detection and visualization of 3′-UTR alternative polyadenylation with RNA-seq and 3′-end-seq data

Abstract Background The eukaryotic genome is capable of producing multiple isoforms from a gene by alternative polyadenylation (APA) during pre-mRNA processing. APA in the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of mRNA produces transcripts with shorter or longer 3′-UTR. Often, 3′-UTR serves as a binding pl...
