A global analysis of tandem 3'UTRs in eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
<h4>Background</h4>Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is emerging as a widespread mechanism of gene regulation. The usage of APA sites allows a single gene to encode multiple mRNA transcripts with different 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) lengths. Many disease processes reflect t...
