N2 - RNA and DNA modifications occur in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, as well as in their viruses, and serve a wide range of functions, from gene regulation to nucleic acid protection. Although the first nucleotide modification was discovered almost 100 years ago, new and unusual modifications are still being described. Nucleotide modifications have also received more attention lately because of their increased significance, but also because new sequencing approaches have eased their detection. Chiefly, third generation sequencing platforms PacBio and Nanopore offer direct detection of modified bases by measuring deviations of the signals. These unusual modifications are especially prevalent in bacteriophage genomes, the viruses of bacteria, where they mostly appear to protect DNA against degradation from host nucleases. In this Opinion article, we highlight and discuss current approaches to detect nucleotide modifications, including hardwares and softwares, and look onward to future applications, especially for studying unusual, rare, or complex genome modifications in bacteriophages. The ability to distinguish between several types of nucleotide modifications may even shed new light on metagenomic studies.
