Journal ArticleDOI

Elevated RNA Editing Activity Is a Major Contributor to Transcriptomic Diversity in Tumors.

TL;DR: It is shown that A-to-I editing and the enzymes mediating this modification are significantly altered, usually elevated, in most cancer types, and increased editing activity is found to be associated with patient survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide adaptive complexes to underground stresses in blind mole rats Spalax

TL;DR: The results show high rates of RNA/DNA editing, reduced chromosome rearrangements, an over-representation of short interspersed elements (SINEs) probably linked to Hypoxia tolerance, degeneration of vision and progression of photoperiodic perception, tolerance to hypercapnia and hypoxia and resistance to cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Massive A-to-I RNA editing is common across the Metazoa and correlates with dsRNA abundance

TL;DR: The method reveals a considerable variation in hyper-editing levels across species, which is partly explained by differences in the potential of sequences to form dsRNA structures and the variability of ADAR proteins.
