Alternative polyadenylation blooms
Abstract
Alternative polyadenylation generates mRNAs with 3' untranscribed regions of different lengths, often affecting transcript stability. Hornyik et al., in this issue of Developmental Cell, and Liu et al. now demonstrate a role for alternative polyadenylation in gene silencing and the regulation of flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana.
