Popis: We present MultiEditR (Multiple Edit Deconvolution by Inference of Traces in R), the first algorithm specifically designed to detect and quantify RNA editing from Sanger sequencing (z.umn.edu/multieditr). Although RNA editing is routinely evaluated by measuring the heights of peaks from Sanger sequencing traces, the accuracy and precision of this approach has yet to be evaluated against gold standard next-generation sequencing methods. Through a comprehensive comparison to RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and amplicon-based deep sequencing, we show that MultiEditR is accurate, precise, and reliable for detecting endogenous and programmable RNA editing.
Graphical abstract
RNA editing allows cells to transiently rewrite the genetic code. However, detecting and quantifying RNA editing relies on RNA-seq, which is expensive and suffers from poor local resolution. Here, we develop MultiEditR (https://moriaritylab.shinyapps.io/multieditr/) to analyze RNA editing from Sanger sequencing for a fraction of the cost while maintaining a comparable fidelity to RNA-seq.
