We have been busing working on models to detect all 2'Ome-RNA modified nucleotides on top of PseudoU, m6A, m5C and Inosine using @nanoporetech.com direct RNA sequencing. This is still very preliminary but here are a few examples of what it looks like on Human #rRNA prepared with standard lib prep 🤩
Selected areas of Human rRNAs showing modification calls in IGV. Samples sequenced by ONT direct RNA sequencing with experimental Remora models calling m6A, m5C, PseudoU, and all 4 2'Ome modifications.
