Abstract excerpt
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) of $3^{\prime}$untranslated regions ($3^{\prime}$UTRs) is a pervasive mechanism that regulates mRNA stability, localization, and translational efficiency by generating isoforms with distinct $3^{\prime}$UTR lengths and regulatory element composition. Despite its critical role in fine-tuning gene expression, APA has been largely overlooked in transcriptome-wide association studies...
