Semi-conservative transmission of DNA N6-adenine methylation in a unicellular eukaryote
Yalan Sheng, Yuanyuan Wang, Wentao Yang…·Yifan Liu
The paper demonstrates that DNA N6-adenine methylation (6mA) is transmitted semi-conservatively in Tetrahymena thermophila, with AMT1-dependent maintenance and AMT1-independent de novo methylation mechanisms.
