“…Interestingly, this effect can still be observed when accounting for the nucleotide composition of the genomes and hence taking into account the high GC content of some alphaherpesviruses, such as PRV and HSV-1 ( Figure S5 ). Of additional interest, the latter analysis shows a significant enrichment of the DRACH motif in the genomes of gammaherpesviruses, in line with the notion that viral transcripts of different members of this herpesvirus subfamily are m6A methylated, which is thought to be important for different aspects of the biology of these viruses ( Tan et al, 2017 ; Ye et al, 2017 ; Hesser et al, 2018 ; Baquero-Perez et al, 2019 ; Lang et al, 2019 ; Dai et al, 2021 ; Tang et al, 2021 ; Xia et al, 2021 ; Zheng et al, 2021 ; Macveigh-Fierro et al, 2022 ).…”
