A call for direct sequencing of full-length RNAs to identify all modification

For most organisms, DNA sequences are available, but the complete RNA sequences are not. Here, we call for technologies to sequence full-length RNAs with all their modifications. Article co-authored by Dr. Vivian Cheung, member of our Center.
