Abstract
A-to-I RNA editing is an RNA modification that alters the RNA sequence relative to the its genomic blueprint. It is catalyzed by double-stranded RNA-specific adenosine deaminase (ADAR) enzymes, and contributes to the complexity and diversification of the proteome. Advancement in the study of A-to-I RNA editing has been facilitated by computational approaches for accurate mapping and quantification of A-to-I RNA editing based on sequencing data. In this chapter we review some of the main computational approaches currently used, describe potential hurdles, challenges and pitfalls, and discuss possible ways to mitigate them.
期刊介绍:
The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for almost 50 years, Methods in Enzymology is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Each volume is eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. Now with over 500 volumes the series contains much material still relevant today and is truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences, including microbiology, biochemistry, cancer research and genetics-just to name a few. Five of the 2013 Nobel Laureates have edited or contributed to volumes of MIE.
