Genome-Wide Identification of U-To-C RNA Editing Events for Nuclear Genes in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: Cytosine-to-Uridine (C-to-U) RNA editing involves the deamination phenomenon, which is observed in animal nucleus and plant organelles; however, it has been considered the U-to-C is confined to the organelles of limited non-angiosperm plant species. Although previous RNA-seq-based analysis implied U-to-C RNA editing events in plant nuclear genes, it has not been broadly accepted due to inadequate confirmatory analyses. Here we examined the U-to-C RNA editing in Arabidopsis tissues at different developmental stages of growth. In this study, the high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of 12-day-old and 20-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings was performed, which enabled transcriptome-wide identification of RNA editing sites to analyze differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and nucleotide base conve
