Methylated RNA Immunoprecipitation Sequencing Reveals the m6A Landscape in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Xi Wang, Jie Wu, Leyu Zhang, Wei Zhao, Jiayin Deng

“…The m6A peaks are always distributed in the junction of the 3′-untranslated regions (3′-UTRs) and the coding sequences (CDS) of mRNAs, as well as the entire genome of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA). Furthermore, enrichment analysis showed that differentially methylated genes were significantly enriched in NF-kappa B signaling pathway, Hedgehog signaling pathway, etc. …”
