Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) within polyadenylation signals (PASs), a specific six-nucleotide sequence required for mRNA maturation, can impair RNA-level gene expression and cause human diseases. However, there is a lack of genome-wide investigation and systematic confirmation tools for identifying PAS variants. Here, we present a computational strategy to integrate the most reliable resources for...
