Most eukaryotic genes produce alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms. APA is dynamically regulated under different growth and differentiation conditions. Here, we present a bioinformatics package, named APAlyzer, for examining 3'UTR APA, intronic APA and gene expression changes using RNA-seq data and annotated polyadenylation sites in the PolyA_DB database. Using APAlyzer and data from the GTEx database, we present APA profiles across human tissues. APAlyzer is freely available at https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/APAlyzer.html as an R/Bioconductor package. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online. © The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.
