  1. 1:AltTrans pipeline requires for a transcript pattern that the underlying splicing and the terminating polyA site are confirmed by the same set of EST./mRNA sequences.
  2. 2:AltPAS pipeline identifies polyA sites independent of the underlying splicing pattern.
  3. 3:A gene is considered as undergoing alternative polyadenylation if it multiple polyA sites (from the merged list of AltTrans and AltPAS polyA sites) are seen mapped to the gene.
  4. 4:Consideration of only the AltTrans polyA sites gives a conservative estimate for the extent of alternative polyadenylation. AltTrans polyA sites differ from AltPAS sites in the manner they are detected; AltTrans polyA sites are confirmed by the same set of EST/mRNA sequences that confirm the splice structure of transcript pattern.
