N6-methyladenosine mRNA methylomes in the MTA RNAi strawberry fruits and the controls

For exploring the influence of the m6A methyltransferase gene MTA silencing in the global m6A mRNA methylomes of strawberry fruits, we performed m6A-seq in the MTA RNAi strawberry fruits (RNAi-MTA) and the controls with three independently biological replicates. Results showed that MTA silencing induces the m6A hypomethylation of thousands of transcripts, including those of ripening and ABA pathway genes. Overall design: mRNA m6A methylomes profiled in octoploid cultivated strawberry with the MTA silencing, as well as the controls, were generated by m6A-seq, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq X.
