Protein-based molecular recognition tools for detecting and profiling RNA modifications.

ABSTRACT: RNA undergoes extensive biochemical modification following transcription. In addition to RNA splicing, transcripts are processed by a suite of enzymes that alter the chemical structure of different nucleobases. Broadly termed as 'RNA editing,' these modifications impart significant functional changes to translation, localization, and stability of individual transcripts within the cell. These changes are dynamic and required for a number of critical cellular processes, and dysregulation of these pathways is responsible for several disease states. Accurately detecting, measuring, and mapping different RNA modifications across the transcriptome is vital to understanding their broader functions as well as leveraging these events as diagnostic biomarkers. Here, we review recent advances in prof
