Epitranscriptomic sequencing refers to the study of chemical modifications of RNA molecules that go beyond the basic sequence of nucleotides. The term "epitranscriptomics" is derived from "epi," meaning "above" or "on top of," and "transcriptomics," which is the study of RNA transcripts produced by the genome. In addition to the primary genetic information encoded in RNA, various chemical modifications can occur on RNA molecules, such as methylation (e.g.
