CDK12 loss in cancer cells affects DNA damage response genes through premature cleavage and polyadenylation

Cdk12 is primarily involved in the regulation of DNA damage response (DDR) gene transcription as well as mRNA processing. Here, the authors demonstrate that CDK12 suppresses intronic polyadenylation, and that inhibition of this kinase primarily affects the expression of long genes with higher number...
