1. Identifying RNA A-to-I editing events in 33 cancers
We downloaded RNA-Seq bam files, SNP array data, gene expression values and clinical information of 11,056 samples across 33 cancer types from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The alternative splicing landscape for these samples were collected from one recent study (Kahles et al. 2018). For all the samples across 33 cancer types, we firstly detected RNA editing events from individual RNA-seq bam files by the script of REDItoolKnown.py (REDItools) (17) with default setting (e.g., minimal read coverage, 10; minimal quality score, 30; and minimal mapping quality score, 255) and hg38 (GENCODE (v.22) reference files same to that used by the GDC data harmonization and generation pipelines. To ensure the confident identification of A-to-I RNA editing events, we focused on known editing sites from REDIportal (January 2021), removed possible SNP data, and filtered out the candidates with supporting reads under three or editing frequency less than 0.1. Eventually, we selected one kind of RNA editing events, A-to-I RNA editing for further analysis, because of its abundance in human.

1) Gene summary category
This category shows the information of the RNA edited gene. Firstly, it shows each partner gene's overall information from basic information such as symbol, alias, and locations and ENST accessions. This table also shows the tissue and cancer type information including manually curated PubMed article information.
Gene summary category

2) 'RNA A-to-I editing events' category
This category provides the detailed RNA editing event information including genomic location from the UCSC genome browser, distribution of editing frequency across 33 cancers, and differential RNA editing events in cancer not in normal tissue.
