Hyper_editing scripts Hyper_editing scripts for detection of hyper editing in RNA-Seq datasets

Introduction

Adenosine-to-inosine (Ato-I) editing is the most common form of editing in mammals,
and is catalysed by the adenosine deaminases ADAR1 and ADAR2 proteins.  ADAR tends to edit sites in clusters (‘hyper-editing’), current methods miss the heavily edited short reads.

This approach overcomes this obstacle (by pre-masking potential A-to-G-editing sites in unaligned reads) and enables the large-scale detection of hyper-edited reads in RNA-seq studies.

The pipeline includes four step: (1) collect all unmapped reads from the initial alignment; (2) transform all As to Gs in both the unmapped reads and the reference genome; (3) realign the transformed RNA reads and the transformed reference genome; and (4) recover the original sequences and search for dense clusters of A-to-G mismatches.
