Project description:State-of-the-art algorithms for m6A detection and quantification via nanopore direct RNA sequencing have been continuously developed, little is known about their capacities and limitations, which makes a comprehensive assessment in urgent need. Therefore, we performed comprehensive benchmarking of 10 computational tools relying on current-based and base-calling “errors” strategies for m6A detection by nanopore sequencing.
Project description:To detect the modifed bases in SINEUP RNA, we compared chemically modified in vitro transcribed (IVT) SINEUP-GFP RNA and in-cell transcribed (ICT) SINEUP RNA from SINEUP-GFP and sense EGFP co-transfected HEK293T/17 cells. Comparative study of Nanopore direct RNA sequencing data from non-modified and modified IVT samples against the data from ICT SINEUP RNA sample revealed modified k-mers positions in SINEUP RNA in the cell.
