UTR reconstruction and analysis using genomically aligned EST sequences

Abstract

Untranslated regions (UTR) play important roles in the posttranscriptional regulation of mRNA processing. There is a wealth of UTR-related information to be mined from the rapidly accumulating EST collections. A computational tool, UTR-extender, has been developed to infer UTR sequences from genomically aligned ESTs. It can completely and accurately reconstruct 72% of the 3' UTRs and 15% of the 5' UTRs when tested using 908 functionally cloned transcripts. In addition, it predicts extensions for 11% of the 5' UTRs and 28% of the 3' UTRs. These extension regions are validated by examining splicing frequencies and conservation levels. We also developed a method called polyadenylation site scan (PASS) to precisely map polyadenylation sites in human genomic sequences. A PASS analysis of 908 genic regions estimates that 40-50% of human genes undergo alternative polyadenylation. Using EST redundancy to assess expression levels, we also find that genes with short 3' UTRs tend to be highly expressed.
