Poly(A) tail 5'/3' bias

Is the abundance of Poly(A) tail (A^25), in sample isolated using poly-A mRNA, potentially caused by a 3' bias in the isolation ?

Could using uneven specimen cause bias in analysis (even when filtered)?

rna-seq rna-seq sequencing

I am asking if a overabundance in poly(A) sequences (>1%) in RNA-seq data of a sample could be caused by RNA break during isolation (thus resulting in a 3' bias).

I found a specimen file with an overabundance of A* sequences in fastqc compared all other specimens.

Second, even when filtered for poly(A), tail would such a bias affect DE analysis ?
