! H: g; H' j3 ~0 W' M美国宾西法尼亚大学医学院遗传系的Vivian G. Cheung在近期《科学》报道RNA与DNA序列之间的差异广泛存在。他们对27个人的全基因组和转录组(全部RNA)通过二代测序技术进行大规模测定,比较发现大量的RNA与其模板DNA序列不一致,平均每个人存在大约1065个这种RNA与DNA序列差别(RNA-DNA difference, RDD),在不同的人,这种差异的具体位置和基因也有所不同。RNA与DNA序列不一致说明在誊抄过程中可能被“篡改(RNA editing)”?

- ?2 s$ W4 Z) [) t4 S% n: UThe transmission of information from DNA to RNA is a critical process. We compared RNA sequences from human B cells of 27 individuals to the corresponding DNA sequences from the same individuals and uncovered more than 10,000 exonic sites where the RNA sequences do not match that of the DNA. All 12 possible categories of discordances were observed. These differences were nonrandom, as many sites were found in multiple individuals and in different cell types, including primary skin cells and brain tissues. Using mass spectrometry, we detected peptides that are translated from the discordant RNA sequences and thus do not correspond exactly to the DNA sequences. These widespread RNA-DNA differences in the human transcriptome provide a yet-unexplored aspect of genome variation.
