Abstract

MOTIVATION: The modification of N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) in RNA is a conserved epigenetic mark that plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation, mRNA stability, and translation efficiency. Traditional methods for detecting ac4C modifications are laborious and costly, necessitating the development of efficient computational approaches for accurate identification of ac4C sites in mRNA.
