The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

The paper argues that RNA secondary structure prediction and RNA modification identification have grown from separate toolboxes into a single intertwined problem: chemical modifications such as m6A change the free-energy landscape of folding, while structural context determines where modifications are installed. It organizes four decades of prediction methods into thermodynamic, comparative, learning-based, and hybrid families, then catalogs modification-prediction tools by modification type. Its distinctive contribution is to make explicit the two-way link between structure and modification, and to survey the data resources and energy parameters, such as m6A-expanded nearest-neighbor parameters, that now make joint modeling possible. If the review's reading of the field is right, the near-term payoff is structure prediction that accounts for modifications and modification prediction that uses structure features, improving RNA therapeutics design.

What carries the argument

The load-bearing object is the nearest-neighbor free energy model: a set of empirically measured parameters that decomposes an RNA secondary structure into loop and stacking units whose free energies add. The review shows how this same machinery, originally built on unmodified nucleotides, is being extended to modified RNAs, most completely for m6A, with full parameter sets from optical melting experiments, and how the Zuker and McCaskill dynamic programming algorithms use these parameters to predict modified structures. On the modification side, the counterpart machinery is the sequence-feature classifiers, including SVM, CNN, transformer, and ensemble methods, that consume RNA structural encodings such as RNAfold MFE values to predict modification sites. The review's organizational machinery is its four-way classification of RNA secondary structure prediction methods.

What would settle it

Run a head-to-head test of m6A-aware folding versus standard folding on in-cell RNA structure probing data such as SHAPE-MaP maps of m6A-containing transcripts; if the m6A parameters do not improve accuracy over unmodified parameters, the review's core recommendation for modified-RNA prediction collapses. Alternatively, retrain a top deep-learning model on a redundancy-filtered holdout from ArchiveII or bpRNA-1m and show that method rankings invert.

Watch

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The central discovery the paper seeks to establish is that RNA secondary structure and RNA modifications are not separate phenomena but a coupled regulatory system: RNA secondary structure motifs guide where writers like METTL3/METTL14 install modifications, and modifications such as m6A, A-to-I editing, and pseudouridine reshape the structure by changing base-pair stabilities and annealing kinetics. The review supports this by tracing method progression from Nussinov-style dynamic programming and Turner nearest-neighbor free energy models, through comparative SCFG methods, to deep learning and foundational RNA language models, and by highlighting the emergence of energy parameters for modified nucleotides, particularly the complete m6A nearest-neighbor parameter set measured by optical melting experiments and integrated into RNAstructure and ViennaRNA. The intended conclusion is that accurate prediction of functional RNA behavior requires models that fold modified sequences with modification-aware energy parameters and that exploit structural context to predict modification sites.

Load-bearing premise

The review's guidance assumes that thermodynamic parameters measured on short synthetic RNAs in the laboratory, especially the m6A nearest-neighbor values, transfer faithfully to how modified RNAs fold inside cells, and that the benchmark datasets it highlights are representative enough to rank methods reliably.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • Structure prediction tools that ignore modifications will systematically mispredict folding of modified transcripts, especially in m6A-rich regions such as 3' UTRs.
  • Including m6A-aware nearest-neighbor parameters in mainstream packages like RNAstructure and ViennaRNA makes modified-RNA folding computationally practical today.
  • Using RNA secondary structure features in modification predictors improves site prediction for m6A, 2'-O-methylation, and other marks.
  • Deep learning and RNA foundation models pre-trained on large sequence collections are the likely route to overcome data scarcity and bias in RNA structure prediction.
  • Joint modeling of structure and modification can inform the rational design of RNA vaccines and gene therapies, for example with N1-methylpseudouridine-modified messages.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • A testable extension the paper does not run: benchmark m6A-aware folding against transcriptome-wide in-cell probing data such as SHAPE-MaP to see whether melting-derived parameters improve accuracy over unmodified parameters in vivo.
  • The review's taxonomy implies that energy-based and learning-based approaches are converging; a plausible next step is fully differentiable folding that trains end-to-end on modified RNA structure data.
  • If the m6A-switch mechanism generalizes to other modifications, structure-aware modification prediction could become a general epitranscriptomics design rule rather than a per-modification special case.

Summary. This manuscript is a review of computational methods for RNA secondary structure (RSS) prediction and RNA modification prediction, together with the data resources used in these areas and the interplay between the two fields. It organizes RSS prediction into energy-based, comparative, learning-based, and hybrid approaches, surveys prediction tools for six RNA modification types, discusses the bidirectional effects of modifications and structure with emphasis on m6A and nearest-neighbor thermodynamic parameters, and lists relevant databases. The review closes with challenges such as data scarcity, pseudoknot handling, and therapeutic applications.

Significance. If accurate, this survey provides a useful structured map of a fast-moving field, and it is generally faithful to the cited literature. Its strengths include its breadth—covering method classes, tools, and data—and its focused discussion of m6A thermodynamics, including the Kierzek et al. and Szabat et al. parameter sets and the ViennaRNA modified-base support. It also explicitly flags data biases such as redundancy in ArchiveII and limitations of PDB-derived RNA sets. The review does not introduce new methods, so its value rests on the reliability of its synthesis; the issues found below are local and do not undermine the overall contribution.

minor comments (6)
  1. [Sec. 1 vs. Sec. 5.2/Table 4] Section 1 states that MODOMICS catalogs 'over 335 natural RNA modifications', but Section 5.2 and Table 4 report 'more than 170 different RNA modifications, 429 different RNA modified residues (335 natural ones)'; this internal inconsistency is a factual error and should be corrected.
  2. [Table 2 / Sec. 2.4] RNA-FM and RNAErnie are labeled as hybrid (H) in Table 2 and discussed under hybrid methods in Section 2.4, yet they are pre-trained language models rather than combinations of thermodynamic, comparative, and learning strategies as defined in Table 1; please clarify the hybrid definition or reclassify these entries.
  3. [Sec. 5.2] The subsection title 'RSS related RNA modification datasets' is misleading because ENCORI and eCLIP contain protein-RNA interaction data rather than RNA modification data; consider renaming the subsection or explicitly explaining their indirect relevance.
  4. [Table 2] The TORNADO entry lists 'Single sequence (FASTA, Stockholm)' as input, but Stockholm is a multiple-sequence alignment format; please clarify what input TORNADO actually accepts.
  5. [Throughout] There are numerous typographical and formatting errors, including 'Waston-Crick', 'Felsenstain', 'unaired region' (should be 'unpaired'), 'the the NIH grants', 'seqeunces', 'Lewi et al.' (should be 'Lewis et al.'), 'Tanzeret al.', 'Conventional' (should be 'Conventionally'), and inconsistent spacing/casing such as 'L INEAR FOLD', 'RNAFOLD', and 'MODOMICs'.
  6. [Refs / disclosure] Several of the cited modification prediction tools (e.g., H2Opred, Meta-2OM, ac4C-AFL, MST-m6A) are authored by a co-author of this review; adding a disclosure statement would improve transparency.

As a review, the paper introduces no new parameters or entities. The axioms listed are the organizational and factual assumptions the survey relies on, all drawn from prior literature.

assumptions (3)
  • domain assumption RNA secondary structure prediction can be usefully categorized into energy-based, comparative, learning-based, and hybrid approaches.
    The entire structure of the review (Table 2 and sections 2.1-2.4) depends on this taxonomy, which is a modeling choice rather than a proven fact; some methods (e.g., CONTRAfold) straddle categories.
  • domain assumption The m6A nearest-neighbor thermodynamic parameters measured in vitro (Kierzek et al. 2022; Szabat et al. 2022) are valid for predicting secondary structure of m6A-modified RNA in vivo.
    Section 4.3 presents these parameters as the basis for modification-aware structure prediction, but the review does not critically assess the in vitro to in vivo transfer.
  • domain assumption Standard benchmarks (ArchiveII, bpRNA-1m, RNAStralign) and databases (Rfam, MODOMICS) accurately represent the ground truth for RNA secondary structure and modifications.
    Section 5 lists these as the reference data for the field; the review does not discuss their biases beyond noting redundancy in bpRNA-1m.

Due to the hierarchical organization of RNA structures and their pivotal roles in fulfilling RNA functions, the formation of RNA secondary structure critically influences many biological processes and has thus been a crucial research topic. This review sets out to explore the computational prediction of RNA secondary structure and its connections to RNA modifications, which have emerged as an active domain in recent years. We first examine the progression of RNA secondary structure prediction methodology, focusing on a set of representative works categorized into thermodynamic, comparative, machine learning, and hybrid approaches. Next, we survey the advances in RNA modifications and computational methods for identifying RNA modifications, focusing on the prominent modification types. Subsequently, we highlight the interplay between RNA modifications and secondary structures, emphasizing how modifications such as m6A dynamically affect RNA folding and vice versa. In addition, we also review relevant data sources and provide a discussion of current challenges and opportunities in the field. Ultimately, we hope our review will be able to serve as a cornerstone to aid in the development of innovative methods for this emerging topic and foster therapeutic applications in the future.
