abstract = {Mammalian ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules are highly
abundant RNAs, decorated with over 220 rRNA modifications.
Previous works have shown that some rRNA modification types
can be dynamically regulated; however, how and when the
mammalian rRNA modification landscape is remodeled remains
largely unexplored. Here, we employ direct RNA sequencing to
chart the human and mouse rRNA epitranscriptome across
tissues, developmental stages, cell types, and disease. Our
analyses reveal multiple rRNA sites that are differentially
modified in a tissue- and/or developmental stage-specific
manner, including previously unannotated modified sites. We
demonstrate that rRNA modification patterns can be used for
tissue and cell-type identification, which we hereby term
'epitranscriptomic fingerprinting.' We then explore rRNA
modification patterns in normal-tumor matched samples from
lung cancer patients, finding that epitranscriptomic
fingerprinting accurately classifies clinical samples into
normal and tumor groups from only 250 reads per sample,
demonstrating the potential of rRNA modifications as
diagnostic biomarkers.},
