Current methods to detect post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, such as phosphate groups, cannot measure single molecules and often cannot differentiate between closely spaced phosphorylation sites. Using a nanopore sequencing approach, we here report detection of PTMs at the single-molecule level on immunopeptide sequences with cancer-associated phosphate variants. We reliably discriminate peptide sequences with one or two closely spaced phosphates with 95% accuracy for individual reads of single molecules.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
