The 3' trailing sequences are located upstream of the stop codon.

3' Trailing Sequences

Sequences at the 3' end of a nucleic acid molecule that do not code for protein but can have roles in regulating gene expression and stability of the molecule.

Stop Codon

Any of the three codons in mRNA that do not code for an amino acid (UAA, UAG, or UGA) but signal the termination of translation. Compare with start codon.
