RNA editing in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Yan Guo et al. Microbiol Res. 2022 Nov.

Abstract

RNA editing, while studied thoroughly in humans, has been sporadically described in bacteria, and to our knowledge, has not been reported in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). After thorough quality control and validation by repeated sequencing, by comparing sequences from RNA and DNA from high-throughput sequencing data, we report the first finding of three RNA editing events in two Mtb isolates.

Keywords: M. tuberculosis; RNA editing.
