ADBP-1 regulates ADR-2 nuclear localization to control editing substrate selection

We generated RNA-seq libraries from three biological replicas of adbp-1 mutant worms at the embryo and L4 developmental stages. We wanted to identify editing sites globally in adbp-1 mutant worms and understand the preferable ADR-2 5’ and 3’ nearest neighbors of editing sites in wild-type worms in contrast to adbp-1 mutant worms. In addition, we wanted to test if the cytoplasmic localization of ADR-2 causes the downregulation of 3’UTR edited genes and lncRNAs, and test the effect of lacking ADBP-1 on global gene expression. A-to-I RNA editing detection of known and de-novo editing sites and gene expression analysis in adbp-1 mutant worms.
