Deskripsi

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) contributes to the post-transcriptional regulation of most human genes, yet the effects of APA are largely overlooked by conventional transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS). Here, the authors conduct an APA-TWAS for 11 brain disorders, identifying hundreds of APA-linked disease susceptibility genes.
