Programmable RNA Nanostructures Enable Nanopore Detection of Cotranscriptionally Introduced RNA Modifications. [PDF]
Tracking RNA synthesis and metabolic histories requires co-transcriptional incorporation of modified nucleotides. However, identifying the incorporation of modified nucleotides in nascent RNA remains challenging, particularly for short RNAs. Here, we developed a method utilizing solid-state nanopores and DNA:RNA nanostructures to detect modified ...
