Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The identification and functional characterization of chemical modifications on an mRNA molecule, in particular N 6 -methyladenosine (m 6 A) modification, significantly broadened our understanding of RNA function and regulation. While interactions between RNA modifications and other RNA features have been proposed, direct evidence showing correlation is limited. Here, using Oxford Nanopore long-read direct RNA sequencing (dRNA-seq), we simultaneously interrogate the transcriptome and epitranscriptome of a human leukemia cell line to investigate the correlation between m 6 A modifications, mRNA abundance, mRNA stability, polyadenylation (poly(A)) tail length, and alternative splicing. High-quality dRNA-seq is important for unbiased and large-scale correlative analyses. Global assessments indicated a negative association between poly(A) tail length and mRNA abundance while uncovering pathway-specific responses upon depletion of the m 6 A-forming enzyme METTL3. Overall, our study presented a rich dRNA-seq data resource that has been validated and can be further exploited to inquire into the complexity of RNA modifications and potential interplays between RNA regulatory elements.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
