MODOMICS

MODOMICS curates a comprehensive database of RNA modifications, documenting chemical structures of modified ribonucleosides, their biosynthetic pathways, precise locations within RNA sequences, and the enzymes that catalyze these modifications.


Key Features:

  • Chemical Structures: Catalogs the chemical structures of modified ribonucleosides.
  • Biosynthetic Pathways: Documents biosynthetic pathways involved in the formation of RNA modifications.
  • Location Data: Provides precise locations of modified residues within RNA sequences.
  • RNA-Modifying Enzymes: Lists enzymes that catalyze RNA modifications.

Scientific Applications:

  • Functional Genomics: Elucidating how RNA modifications influence post-transcriptional regulation and gene expression.
  • Structural Biology: Investigating the structural impacts of modifications on RNA molecules.
  • Enzymology: Characterizing enzymes that facilitate RNA modification processes.
  • Systems Biology: Integrating RNA modification data into systems-level analyses of cellular processes.

Methodology:

No computational methods or data processing steps are specified in the provided description.
