Abstract excerpt
The poly(A) profile of a typical yeast gene comprises ∼50 poly(A) sites corresponding to distinct 3' mRNA isoforms. Poly(A) profiles are shifted upstream in strains with slow RNA polymerase II (Pol II) elongation rates resulting from Pol II mutations or from depletion of histone chaperones FACT or Spt6. Conversely, downstream-shifted poly(A) profiles occur in strains with fast Pol II elongation rates caused by...
