Abstract

MOTIVATION: N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is a highly conserved RNA modification that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. Accurately identifying ac4C sites is of paramount importance for gaining a deeper understanding of their regulatory mechanisms. Nevertheless, the existing experimental techniques for ac4C site identification are characterized by limitations in terms of cost-effectiveness, while the performance of current computational methods in accurately identifying ac4C sites requires further enhancement.
