We developed an RNA FISH strategy we called inoFISH that enables us to directly visualize and quantify adenosine-to-inosine edited transcripts in situ. Applying this tool to three edited transcripts (GRIA2, EIF2AK2 and NUP43), we found that editing of these transcripts is not correlated with nuclear localization nor paraspeckle association, and that NUP43 exhibits constant editing rates between single cells while the rates for GRIA2 vary.
