Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing plays important roles in diversifying the transcriptome and preventing MDA5 sensing of endogenous dsRNA as nonself. To date, few studies have investigated the population genomic signatures of A-to-I editing due to the lack of editing sites overlapping with SNPs. RESULTS: In this study, we applied a pipeline to robustly identify SNP editing sites from...
