THE FREQUENCY AND FITNESS OF m6A-ASSOCIATED VARIANTS COULD BE MODULATED BY THE THERMODYNAMIC STABILITY OF AN OVERLAPPING G-QUADRUPLEX
Objective: Post-transcriptional modifications like m6A (N6-methyladenosine) and secondary structures like G-quadruplex (G4) are formations that play a vital role in RNA processing.Their synergy also has functional consequences.Since m6A is known to be enzymatically created in the DRACH-motif, and that genetic variants can create a novel DRACH-motif
