Intergenic Alu exonisation facilitates the evolution of tissue-specific transcript ends

The 3′ untranslated regions (3′ UTRs) of transcripts serve as important hubs for posttranscriptional gene expression regulation. Here, we find that the exonisation of intergenic Alu elements introduced new terminal exons and polyadenylation sites during human genome evolution. While Alu exonisation...
