RNA Editing Paper Draws Computational Criticism

May 26, 2011 | Computational biologists are pointing out flaws in the observations of authors of a Science paper published last week (Nature's first news story mentioned here on Bio-IT World). The paper claimed that RNA editing changes bases after transcription, but geneticists point out that the genome has so many similar regions that RNA can't always be matched to its precise DNA template.
