What is RNA Editing Site?

     RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification of RNA and markedly increases the complexity of the transcriptome. RNA editing occurs in the nucleus, as well as in mitochondria and plastids. To date such changes have been observed in prokaryotes, plants, animals and virus. The diversity of this widespread phenomenon includes nucleoside modifications, nucleotide additions and insertions, either in coding or non-coding sequences of RNA, which can occur concomitantly with transcription and splicing processes.

 

What is dbRES?

     dbRES is a web-oriented comprehensive database for RNA Editing Site. dbRES contain only experimental validated RNA Editing Site. All the data in dbRES was manually collected from literatures reporting related experiment result or the GeneBank database.
