Genome-Wide Profiling of Polyadenylation Events in Maize Using High-Throughput Transcriptomic Sequences

Polyadenylation is an essential post-transcriptional modification of eukaryotic transcripts that plays critical role in transcript stability, localization, transport, and translational efficiency. About 70% genes in plants contain alternative polyadenylation (APA) sites. Despite availability of vast amount of sequencing data, to date, a comprehensive map of the polyadenylation events in maize is not available. Here, 9.48 billion RNA-Seq reads were analyzed to characterize 95,345 Poly(A) Clusters...
