N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal messenger RNA modification in higher eukaryotes, serves myriad roles in regulating cellular processes. Functional dissection of m6A is, however, hampered in part by the lack of high-resolution and quantitative detection methods. Here we present evolved TadA-assisted N6-methyladenosine sequencing (eTAM-seq), an enzyme-assisted sequencing technology that detects and quantifies m6A by global adenosine deamination. With eTAM-seq, we analyze the transcriptome-wide distribution of m6A in HeLa and mouse embryonic stem cells. The enzymatic deamination route employed by eTAM-seq preserves RNA integrity, facilitating m6A detection from limited input samples. In addition to transcriptome-wide m6A profiling, we demonstrate site-specific, deep-sequencing-free m6A quantification with as few as ten cells, an input demand orders of magnitude lower than existing quantitative profiling methods. We envision that eTAM-seq will enable researchers to not only survey the m6A landscape at unprecedented resolution, but also detect m6A at user-specified loci with a simple workflow. N6-methyladenosine is mapped at single-base resolution in as few as ten cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
