Some of the editing sites show developmental stage specificity, which is not caused by differential expression. (A) Overlap between 3′ UTR-edited genes found in each RNA-sequencing data set. The number of edited genes identified from RNA isolated from L4, embryo, and mixed stages is shown in purple, pink, and blue, respectively. The numbers inside the overlapping circles represent the intersection between the data sets. (B) Log scale plot presenting expression of genes at L4 and embryo stage in wild-type (N2) worms. Every dot represents a gene. Purple dots indicate L4-specific edited genes. Pink dots indicate embryo-specific edited genes. The green dot is egl-2 gene. The red line is the regression line for all genes.
