Comparison of the editing levels among four orders. The editing sites (in red) and their editing levels (A/G signal) of sites 3–6 and 9–13 among the nAChR alpha6 orthologs from D. melanogaster (Dme), B. mori (Bmo), T. castaneum (Tca) and A. mellifera (Ame) are shown. RNA editing of the nAChR subunit alpha6 genes from D. melanogaster have been previously described [16]. Some RNA editing sites were not evidently detected as a mixed sequence signal G and A, but revealed by sequencing of cDNA clones.
