Abstract In the last decade advances in Next Generation Sequencing and bioinformatics enabled the unraveling of global RNA modifications and editing. The evolving field of epitranscriptomics proved to be important in cell fate decisions, normal development and disease.
The lecture will deal with A to I editing-based mechanisms relevant to cancer and with the emerging role
of m6A methylation in the precise regulation of early embryonic development.
