TLDR
It is shown that RNA editing sites can be called with high confidence using RNA sequencing data from multiple samples across either individuals or species, without the need for matched genomic DNA sequence.
Abstract
We show that RNA editing sites can be called with high confidence using RNA sequencing data from multiple samples across either individuals or species, without the need for matched genomic DNA sequence. We identified many previously unidentified editing sites in both humans and Drosophila; our results nearly double the known number of human protein recoding events. We also found that human genes harboring conserved editing sites within Alu repeats are enriched for neuronal functions.

A-to-I editing of coding and non-coding RNAs by ADARs

TL;DR: Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) convert adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA, leading to reduced expression or altered function of mature miRNAs and certain microRNA precursors.

A-to-I RNA editing occurs at over a hundred million genomic sites, located in a majority of human genes.

TL;DR: It is found that virtually all adenosines within Alu repeats that form double-stranded RNA undergo A-to-I editing, although most sites exhibit editing at only low levels, doubling the number of edited sites in the human genome.

RADAR: a rigorously annotated database of A-to-I RNA editing

TL;DR: RADAR includes a comprehensive collection of A-to-I RNA editing sites identified in humans (Homo sapiens), mice and flies (Mus musculus) and flies, together with extensive manually curated annotations for each editing site.

Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform

TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.
