METTL3 Uncouples Chromatin Accessibility from Transcription during Retinal Development

Jing Xu, Yuanhao Huang, Zhaowei Han, Qiang Li, Jie Liu, Rajesh C. Rao

This study investigates METTL3's role in retinal development by integrating multi-omics data, revealing its impact on m6A regulation and chromatin accessibility independent of transcription.
