  1. Can estimate the modification fraction based on C to U mutation ratio, which is indirect and inaccurate. 

  2. Mutate flanking U (miCLIP-seq) or C (DART-seq) sites, thereby inferring the position of m6A sites.  2

  3. Cut at A sites, thereby inferring the fraction of m6A modification. 

  4. Need to express the APOBEC1-YTH fusion protein in cells. 

  5. Need to culture cells in Se-allyl-L-selenohomocysteine medium for 16 h.Â
