Abstract:RNA editing is a post-transcriptional nucleotide modification in humans. Of the various types of RNA editing, the adenosine to inosine substitution is the most widespread in higher eukaryotes, which is mediated by ADAR family enzyme. Inosine is recognized by the biological machineries as guanosine, therefore, editing can potentially rendering substantial functional effects throughout the genome, depending on where it located. RNA editing could contribute to cancer by either exclusive editing of tumor suppresso… Show more
