Transcriptome‐wide analysis of N6‐methyladenosine uncovers its regulatory role in gene expression in the lepidopteran Bombyx mori

N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is the most common form of RNA modification in eukaryotes and has been shown to act as an important epitranscriptomic marker, which can regulate gene expression, messenger RNA stability, alternative splicing and translation efficiency. Recent progress on determining insect m6A function has been limited to the dipteran Drosophila melanogaster , in which m6A is involved in neuronal functions and sex...
