Abstract excerpt
Most RNA editing systems are mechanistically diverse, informationally restorative, and scattershot in eukaryotic lineages. In contrast, genetic recoding by adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing seems common in animals; usually, altering highly conserved or invariant coding positions in proteins. Here I report striking variation between species in the recoding of synaptotagmin I (sytI). Fruitflies, mosquitoes and...
