Alternative polyadenylation site usage gives rise to variation in 3' ends of transcripts in diverse organisms ranging from yeast to human. Accurate mapping of polyadenylation sites of transcripts is of major biological importance, since the length of the 3'UTR can have a strong influence on transcript stability, localization, and translation. However, reads generated using total mRNA sequencing mostly lack the very 3' end of transcripts. Here, we present a method that allows simultaneous analysis of alternative 3' ends and transcriptome dynamics at high throughput. By using transcripts produced in vitro, the high precision of end mapping during the protocol can be controlled. This method is illustrated here for budding yeast. However, this method can be applied to any natural or artificially polyadenylated RNA.

Background: Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) is a crucial post-transcriptional gene regulation mechanism that regulates gene expression in eukaryotes by increasing the diversity and complexity of both the transcriptome and proteome. Despite the development of more than a dozen experimental methods over the last decade to identify and quantify APA events, widespread adoption of these methods has been limited by technical, financial, and time constraints. Consequently, APA remains poorly understood in most eukaryotes.

Background: Aberrant alternative splicing (AS) contributes to tumor progression. A crucial component of AS is cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 4 (CPSF4). It remains unclear whether CPSF4 plays a role in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) progression through AS regulation.

Prevailing poly(dT)-primed 3' single-cell RNA-seq protocols generate barcoded cDNA fragments containing the reverse transcriptase priming site or in principle the polyadenylation site. Direct sequencing across this site was historically difficult because of DNA sequencing errors induced by the homopolymeric primer at the 'barcode' end. Here, we evaluate the capability of 'avidity base chemistry' DNA sequencing from Element Biosciences to sequence through the primer and enable accurate paired-end read alignment and precise quantification of polyadenylation sites.

Cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 6 (CPSF6) is one such host factor that is recruited by incoming HIV-1 cores to regulate trafficking, nuclear import, uncoating, and integration site selection. Despite these well-described roles, the impact of CPSF6 perturbation on HIV-1 infectivity varies considerably by cell type.

Article Synopsis
- Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is highlighted as a key regulatory mechanism for gene expression in pig muscles, similar to alternative splicing (AS), contributing to the complexity of the transcriptome and proteome.
- Through long-read isoform sequencing, novel transcripts were discovered at various developmental stages, revealing extensive transcript diversity and identifying significant genes related to muscle growth and development.
- The study uncovers that changes in alternative splicing and polyadenylation site usage are linked to ageing, emphasizing the role of APA and AS in regulating muscle gene expression and enhancing transcriptional variety.
