The short ASCC3 RNA isoform functions as a long non-coding RNA

Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute analyzed the transcription-related DNA damage response on a genome-wide scale with great spatial and temporal resolution. Upon UV irradiation, a slowdown of transcript elongation and restriction of gene activity to the promoter-proximal ∼25 kb is observed. This is associated with a shift from expression of long mRNAs to shorter isoforms, incorporating alternative last exons ...
