Does 6mA exist in eukaryotic DNA? This is our take on this dispute: yes it does, and can be very abundant, but mostly correlates with presence of the MT-A70 writer AMT1. Then, 6mA is associated with transcriptionally-permissive chromatin (H3K4me3) 1/6: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Adenine DNA methylation associated to transcription is widespread across eukaryotes

DNA methylation in the form of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) is widespread in eukaryotes, while the presence of N6-methyladenine (6mA) has sparked considerable debate. Methodological disparities in quanti...
