Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, in particular, the invention relates to a method for analyzing the characteristics of RNA editing sites. Background technique
[0002] RNA editing refers to the deletion, insertion or substitution of bases that occur at the RNA level after DNA transcription and before translation. In higher organisms, the most important RNA editing is the modification of base A to I (inosine), which is usually catalyzed by ADAR proteases. Since inosine nucleotide (I) is recognized as guanine nucleotide (G) at the translational level, this editing at this site is actually an A to G switch. This change may lead to changes in the structure and function of related proteins, and may also change the structure and function of RNA that plays a regulatory role in the organism. According to relevant literature reports, the phenomenon of RNA editing is closely related to the occurrence of cancer, so it has become a new resear...
