Post-transcriptional modifications, such as mRNA editing, have the potential to diversify the proteome. Most animals do not show much mRNA editing that results in a codon change (recoding). However, squid (a member of the cephalopod taxa) were recently shown to ...

Inosine (I), a modified base found in the double-stranded regions of RNA in metazoans, has various roles in biological processes by modulating gene expression. Inosine is generated from adenosine (A) catalyzed by ADAR (adenosine deaminase acting on RNA) enzymes in ...
