Abstract

The poly(A) tail is a sequence of several adenosine nucleotides added to the 3' end of RNA molecules transcribed by polymerase II. The dynamics of poly(A) tail length play a significant role in regulating post-transcriptional gene expression by regulating the stability, translation, and decay of messenger RNAs. As a result, an accurate measurement of poly(A) tail length changes is important for understanding its regulatory function in different cellular contexts. Here, we outline a method for using nanopore sequencing and linear mixed models to analyze differences in poly(A) tail length across conditions.
