Alternative Cleavage and Polyadenylation during Colorectal Cancer Development
9 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) of mRNAs is a phenomenon that alters 3'-untranslated region length leading to altered posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Changing APA patterns have been shown to result in misregulation of genes involved in carcinogenesis; therefore, we hypothesized that altered APA contributes to progression of colorectal cancer, and that measurement of APA...
