RNA samples were fragmented into 100 bp using fragmentation buffer and then incubated with anti-m6A polyclonal antibody (Synaptic Systems, 202,003, Germany) in immunoprecipitation (IP) buffer for 2 h at 4 °C. The mixture was then immunoprecipitated by incubation with protein-A beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) at 4 °C for an additional 2 h. Then, bound RNA was eluted from the beads with N6-monophosphate (BERRY & ASSOCIATES, PR3732) in IP buffer and then extracted with Trizol reagent. Purified RNA was used for RNA-seq library generation with NEBNext® Ultra™ II Directional RNA Library Prep Kit (New England Biolabs, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Both the input sample without immunoprecipitation and the m6A IP samples were subjected to 150 bp paired-end sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 sequencer [14].
