“…The prevalent internal RNA modification mark N(6)-methyladenosine (m 6 A) has been reported to play a role in regulating most facets of the RNA life cycle, including regulation of pre-mRNA splicing, mRNA stability, and mRNA translation (Lin et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2015Wang et al, , 2014Xiao et al, 2016;Zhao et al, 2014). Recently, work by us (Alarcón et al, 2015) and others (Ke et al, 2017;Knuckles et al, 2017) has established that m 6 A marks are deposited in the nucleus and are proposed to function in many nuclear regulatory processes, including microRNA and messenger RNA processing. Despite the widespread use of these pathways, the underlying regulatory programs that influence m 6 A deposition patterns across the transcriptome are poorly characterized.…”
