EpiTxDb

EpiTxDb facilitates the storage of epitranscriptomic information, tracking modification identity, position, the enzyme introducing the modification on RNA, a specifier determining the position on RNA to be modified, and associated literature references.

Key Features:

• Modification Identity Tracking: Records the specific chemical identity of each RNA modification.
• Modification Position Tracking: Stores the genomic or transcriptomic position of each modification.
• Enzyme Annotation: Links each modification to the enzyme responsible for introducing it on the RNA.
• Specifier Annotation: Records the specifier determining which position on the RNA is modified.
• Literature Reference Integration: Associates each modification with relevant literature references.
• AnnotationDbi Interface: Provides data access through the standard Bioconductor AnnotationDbi framework.

Scientific Applications:

• Epitranscriptome Database Construction: Enables structured storage and retrieval of RNA modification data for research and database projects.
• RNA Modification Research: Supports investigations into the enzymes, specifiers, and positions involved in RNA modifications.

Methodology:

EpiTxDb implements the AnnotationDbi interface for storing and accessing epitranscriptomic information.
