Experimental Verification and Evolutionary Origin of 5′-UTR Polyadenylation Sites in Arabidopsis thaliana

Experimental Verification and Evolutionary Origin of 5′-UTR Polyadenylation Sites in Arabidopsis thaliana

Messenger RNA (mRNA) polyadenylation is an indispensable step during post-transcriptional pre-mRNA processing for most genes in eukaryotes. The usage of one poly(A) site over another is known as alternative polyadenylation (APA). APA has been implicated in gene expression regulation through its role...
