Hidden codes in mRNA: Control of gene expression by m6A
Open accessAbstract
SUMMARY Information in mRNA has largely been thought to be confined to its nucleotide sequence. However, the advent of mapping techniques to detect modified nucleotides has revealed that mRNA contains additional information in the form of chemical modifications. The most abundant modified nucleotide is N6-methyladenosine (m6A), a methyl modification of adenosine. Although early studies viewed m6A as a dynamic and tissue-specific modification, it is now clear that the mRNAs that contain m6A and the location of m6A in those transcripts are largely universal, and are influenced by gene architecture, i.e., the size and location of exons and introns. m6A can affect nuclear processes such as splicing and epigenetic regulation, but the major effect of m6A on mRNAs is to promote degradation in the cytoplasm. m6A marks a functionally related cohort of mRNAs linked to certain biological processes, including cell differentiation and cell fate determination. m6A is also enriched in other cohorts of mRNAs and can therefore affect their respective cellular processes and pathways. Future work will focus on understanding how the m6A pathway is regulated to achieve control of m6A-containing mRNAs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
