Our consortium meeting took place on August 4–9, 2025 at Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, focusing on identifying and quantifying RNA chemical modifications.
Parallel breakout sessions covered non–mass spectrometry direct RNA sequencing methods, biological implications, and data storage.
1st Human RNome Project Workshop
Key Outcomes
Built momentum for sequencing RNA with all chemical modifications
Established a harmonized protocol for ribonucleoside identification and quantitation
Launched a collaborative project to draft human RNome sequences as a benchmark
Formed an early-career scientist group led by Rami Bechara, Bennett Henzeler, Rebekah Penrice-Randal.
