Shortening of 3'UTRs correlates with poor prognosis in breast and lung cancer.
A major part of the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is affected by trans-acting elements, such as microRNAs, binding the 3' untraslated region (UTR) of their target mRNAs. Proliferating cells partly escape this type of negative regulation by expressing shorter 3' UTRs, d...
