Figure 1: The impact of m6A on mRNA abundance on mRNA stability.
Different subpopulations of transcripts from the same gene can exhibit different responses based on their level of modification. Following stimulation, the sharpest change in mRNA abundance is seen for transcripts with clusters of m6A. Transcripts with single m6A modification may experience a more gradual decrease, while transcripts with no m6A are the slowest to change.
