With the development of new sequencing technology, the entire N6-methyl-adenosine (m(6)A) RNA methylome can now be unbiased profiled with methylated RNA immune-precipitation sequencing technique (MeRIP-Seq), making it possible to detect differential methylation states of RNA between two conditions, for example, ...

The “RNA world” is not at all hypothetical but rather the biological world we live in (1). For RNA to function within a modern cellular milieu of proteins and DNA, numerous chemical modifications coevolved that help sculpt its interactions (2). ...

from Nature Methods The past decade has seen a transformation, fueled by the availability of NGS platforms, in applications based on generating DNA and RNA sequence. There are more than 50 multiletter-acronym or ‘MLA-seq’ applications for interrogating a wide variety ...
