Genome-wide identification and characterization of circular RNA m6A modification in pancreatic cancer
Abstract Background N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modification of RNA in eukaryotic cells and play critical roles in cancer. While most related studies focus on m6A modifications in linear RNA, transcriptome-wide profiling and exploration of m6A modification in circular RNAs in canc...
