The Human RNome Project Consortium is conducting a global benchmarking project to sequence a common human B-cell line (GM12878) using multiple sequencing and mass spectrometry–based methods. The results will enable cross-platform comparison and generate the first draft of the Human RNome sequence. Findings will be unveiled at the 2026 HR

RNA is important for other fields, here are some examples
Plant Biology
To improve crops resistance to heat and drought.
Data Storage
Groups have explored using DNA for data storage, RNA with all the many modifications can be an even better storage media.
Biomanufacturing
Infrastructure to improve the manufacturing of modified bases and sugars of RNA will be important for the development of therapeutics to data storage devices.
