Genome-Wide Identification, Classification and Expression Analysis of m⁶A Gene Family in Solanum lycopersicum.

ABSTRACT: Advanced knowledge of messenger RNA (mRNA) N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) and DNA N⁶-methyldeoxyadenosine (6 mA) redefine our understanding of these epigenetic modifications. Both m⁶A and 6mA carry important information for gene regulation, and the corresponding catalytic enzymes sometimes belong to the same gene family and need to be distinguished. However, a comprehensive analysis of the m⁶A gene family in tomato remains obscure. Here, 24 putative m⁶A genes and their family genes in tomato were identified and renamed according to BLASTP and phylogenetic analysis. Chromosomal location, synteny, phylogenetic, and structural analyses were performed, unravelling distinct evolutionary relationships between the MT-A70, A
