abstract = {MOTIVATION: 3' end processing is important for
transcription termination, mRNA stability and regulation of gene
expression. To identify 3' ends, most techniques use an oligo-dT
primer to construct deep sequencing libraries. However, this
approach can lead to identification of artifactual
polyadenylation sites due to internal priming in homopolymeric
stretches of adenines. Although heuristic filters have been
applied in these cases, they typically result in a high
proportion of both false-positive and -negative classifications.
Therefore, there is a need to develop improved algorithms to
better identify mis-priming events in oligo-dT primed sequences.
RESULTS: By analyzing sequence features flanking 3' ends derived
from oligo-dT-based sequencing, we developed a naive Bayes
classifier to classify them as true or false/internally primed.
The resulting algorithm is highly accurate, outperforms previous
heuristic filters and facilitates identification of novel
polyadenylation sites.},
