How pervasive are post-translational and-transcriptional modifications?

Cells use post-translational and post-transcription modifications as crucial mechanisms to maintain homeostasis and regulate gene transcription. Recent discoveries demonstrate that these modifications are more pervasive and important than scientists previously posited. Here, we discuss their importance and provide insight to stimulate new research into these modifications.
