: The macaque animals used to profile the RNA editome were from Chinese population of rhesus macaque. The samples used in this study were obtained from the AAALAC-accredited (Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care) animal facility at the Institute of Molecular Medicine, Peking University. The samples were obtained in accordance with protocols approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Peking University (IMM-HeAiB-1). The information regarding the macaque population data in this study has been described in our previous publication []. Briefly, 24 macaque animals from four separated facilities housed in different areas were selected and sequenced. Public whole genome sequencing data from an additional seven macaque animals were further integrated to set up a macaque polymorphism map. We traced the information for the last 20 years for these macaque animals and ensured that these macaque animals are unrelated to each other for the past three generations [].
