“…The first strategy, which is implemented in tools such as Epinano 14 , DiffErr 15 , Eligos 16 , and Drummer 17 , has shown interesting results despite not considering the effects of RNA modification on the raw electrical signal; however, modern basecalling models tend to become more insensitive to common PTM, with the risk that methods of this group could quickly become ineffective at detecting modifications. On the other hand, methods based on raw signal space analyses (such as Tombo 18 , Mines 19 , xPore 20 , nanom6A 21 , nanoRMS 22 , nanoDoc 23 , Yanocomp 24 , and Penguin 25 ) can lead to richer comparative analyses, but are more complicated and come with steeper computational costs. The methods described above can be further classified into two groups: de novo detection methods, that use a trained model to identify modifications, and comparative methods, where differences between two samples are evaluated to infer the presence of a modification.…”
