A functional m 6 A‐RNA methylation pathway in the oyster Crassostrea gigas assumes epitranscriptomic regulation of lophotrochozoan development
N 6 ‐methyladenosine (m 6 A) is a prevalent epitranscriptomic mark in eukaryotic RNA, with crucial roles for mammalian and ecdysozoan development. Indeed, m 6 A‐RNA and the related protein machinery are important for splicing, translation, maternal‐to‐zygotic transition and cell differentiation. How...

However, to date, the presence of an m 6 A‐RNA pathway remains unknown in more distant animals, questioning the evolution and significance of the epitranscriptomic regulation.
