L1 retrotransposons exploit RNA m6A modification as an evolutionary driving force
To investigate the m6A profiles of full-length L1 RNA, we use MeRIP-seq in HeLa cells expressing reporter L1. We find that L1 RNA contains functional m6A sites, predominantly in 5'UTR. Overall design: Study of m6A in L1 RNA using two MeRIP-seq replicates for HeLa cells expressing reporter L1.
