33104797	REDIportal: millions of novel A-to-I RNA editing events from thousands of RNAseq experiments. [PMID: 33104797] Mansi L, Tangaro MA, Lo Giudice C, Flati T, Kopel E, Schaffer AA, Castrignanò T, Chillemi G, Pesole G, Picardi E. Abstract RNA editing is a relevant epitranscriptome phenomenon able to increase the transcriptome and proteome diversity of eukaryotic organisms. ADAR mediated RNA editing is widespread in humans in which millions of A-to-I changes modify thousands of primary transcripts. RNA editing has pivotal roles in the regulation of gene expression or modulation of the innate immune response or functioning of several neurotransmitter receptors. Massive transcriptome sequencing has fostered the research in this field. Nonetheless, different aspects of the RNA editing biology are still unknown and need to be elucidated. To support the study of A-to-I RNA editing we have updated our REDIportal catalogue raising its content to about 16 millions of events detected in 9642 human RNAseq samples from the GTEx project by using a dedicated pipeline based on the HPC version of the REDItools software. REDIportal now allows searches at sample level, provides overviews of RNA editing profiles per each RNAseq experiment, implements a Gene View module to look at individual events in their genic context and hosts the CLAIRE database. Starting from this novel version, REDIportal will start collecting non-human RNA editing changes for comparative genomics investigations.

31996844	Investigating RNA editing in deep transcriptome datasets with REDItools and REDIportal. [PMID: 31996844] Claudio Lo Giudice, Marco Antonio Tangaro, Graziano Pesole, Ernesto Picardi Abstract RNA editing is a widespread post-transcriptional mechanism able to modify transcripts through insertions/deletions or base substitutions. It is prominent in mammals, in which millions of adenosines are deaminated to inosines by members of the ADAR family of enzymes. A-to-I RNA editing has a plethora of biological functions, but its detection in large-scale transcriptome datasets is still an unsolved computational task. To this aim, we developed REDItools, the first software package devoted to the RNA editing profiling in RNA-sequencing (RNAseq) data. It has been successfully used in human transcriptomes, proving the tissue and cell type specificity of RNA editing as well as its pervasive nature. Outcomes from large-scale REDItools analyses on human RNAseq data have been collected in our specialized REDIportal database, containing more than 4.5 million events. Here we describe in detail two bioinformatic procedures based on our computational resources, REDItools and REDIportal. In the first procedure, we outline a workflow to detect RNA editing in the human cell line NA12878, for which transcriptome and whole genome data are available. In the second procedure, we show how to identify dysregulated editing at specific recoding sites in post-mortem brain samples of Huntington disease donors. On a 64-bit computer running Linux with ≥32 GB of random-access memory (RAM), both procedures should take ~76 h, using 4 to 24 cores. Our protocols have been designed to investigate RNA editing in different organisms with available transcriptomic and/or genomic reads.
