## Abstract Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) convert adenosines to inosines in doubleβstranded RNA in animals. Identification of more ADAR targets and genome sequences of diverse eukaryotes present an opportunity to elucidate the origin and evolution of ADARβmediated RNA editing. Comparat
Random assembly of antibody variable (V), diversity (D) and joining (J) gene segments creates a vast repertoire of antigen receptors, including autoreactive ones. Three ways that are known to reduce autoreactivity in the B-cell compartment include clonal deletion, functional inactivation and recepto
