title: m(6)A mRNA methylation: a new circadian pacesetter.
abstract: The purpose of m(6)A methylation of RNA, first observed in the 1970s, has been a longstanding mystery. Fustin et al. now show that it regulates RNA processing and determines the period and oscillatory stability of the mammalian circadian clockwork.
