The Norris lab recently identified two RNA binding proteins required for proper neuron-specific splicing. The lab conducted touch- response behavioral assays to assess the function of these proteins in touch-sensing neurons. After isolating C. elegans worms with specific phenotypes, the lab used automated computer tracking and video analysis to record the worms’ behavior. The behavior of mutant worms differed from that of wild-type worms. The Norris lab also discovered two possible RNA binding protein sites in SAD-1, a neuronal gene implicated in the neuronal development of C. elegans1. These two binding sites may control the splicing of SAD-1. The lab transferred mutated DNA into the genome of wild-type worms by injecting a mutated plasmid. The newly transformed worms fluoresced green, indicating that the two binding sites control SAD-1 splicing.

SUMMARYGenome-wide association studies have identified thousands of non-coding variants that are statistically associated with human traits and diseases. However, functional interpretation of these variants remains a major challenge. Here, we describe the first atlas of human 3’-UTR alternative polyadenylation (APA) Quantitative Trait Loci (3’QTLs), i.e. ∼0.4 million genetic variants associated with APA of target genes across 46 Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) tissues from 467 individuals. APA occurs in approximately 70% of human genes and substantively impacts cellular proliferation, differentiation and tumorigenesis. Mechanistically, 3’QTLs could alter polyA motifs and RNA-binding protein binding sites, leading to thousands of APA changes. Importantly, 3’QTLs can be used to interpret ∼16.1% of trait-associated variants and are largely distinct from other QTLs such as eQTLs. The genetic basis of APA (3’QTLs) thus represent a novel molecular phenotype to explain a large fraction of non-coding variants and to provide new insights into complex traits and disease etiologies.HighlightsThe first atlas of human 3’QTLs: ∼0.4 million genetic variants associated with alternative polyadenylation of target genes across 46 tissues from 467 individuals3’QTLs could alter polyA motifs and RNA-binding protein binding sites3’QTLs can be used to interpret ∼16.1% of trait-associated variantsMany disease-associated 3’QTLs contribute to phenotype independent of gene expression
