Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a widespread mechanism that contributes to the sophisticated dynamics of gene regulation. Approximately 50% of all protein-coding human genes harbor multiple polyadenylation (PA) sites; their selective and combinatorial use gives rise to transcript variants with differing ...

This tutorial describes how to infer UTR length from RNA sequencing data. Use the GBrowse ruler function to measure the difference between a gene’s annotated start and the start of RNASeq reads. The difference estimates UTR length.
