Abstract
The fate of eukaryotic transcripts is closely linked to their untranslated regions, which are determined by where transcription starts and ends on a genomic locus. The extent of alternative transcription start and alternative poly-adenylation has been revealed by sequencing methods focused on the ends of transcripts, but the application of these methods is not yet widely adopted by the community. In this review we highlight the importance of defining the untranslated parts of transcripts and suggest that computational methods applied to standard high-throughput technologies are a useful alternative to the expertise-demanding 5’ and 3’ sequencing. We present a number of computational approaches for the discovery and quantification of alternative transcription start and poly-adenylation events, focusing on technical challenges and arguing for the need to include better normalization of the data and more appropriate statistical models of the expected variation in the signal.
