ExpEdit: a webserver to explore human RNA editing in RNA-Seq experiments

Bioinformatics. 2011 May 1;27(9):1311-2. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btr117. Epub 2011 Mar 22.

Abstract

ExpEdit is a web application for assessing RNA editing in human at known or user-specified sites supported by transcript data obtained by RNA-Seq experiments. Mapping data (in SAM/BAM format) or directly sequence reads [in FASTQ/short read archive (SRA) format] can be provided as input to carry out a comparative analysis against a large collection of known editing sites collected in DARNED database as well as other user-provided potentially edited positions. Results are shown as dynamic tables containing University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) links for a quick examination of the genomic context.
