In A-to-I RNA editing, adenosine is converted to inosine in double-stranded regions of RNAs. Inosine, an abundant epitranscriptomic mark, contributes to a wide range of biological processes by regulating gene expression post-transcriptionally. To understand the effect of A-to-I RNA editing

A central issue in the design of microarray-based analysis of global gene expression is that variability resulting from experimental processes may obscure changes resulting from the effect being investigated. This study quantified the variability in gene expression at each level
