Transcription elongation rate has a tissue-specific impact on alternative cleavage and polyadenylation in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>.

APA analysis of the RpII215 C4 mutant strain, which harbors a mutant RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) with a slower elongation rate, revealed that a 50% decrease in transcriptional elongation rate leads to a mild trend of more usage of proximal, weaker PASs, both in 3′UTRs and in introns, consistent with the “first come, first served” model of APA regulation.
