Abstract excerpt
Epitranscriptomic modifications [N6-methyladenosine (m6A)] regulate various diseases, including cancer and inflammation. Despite their functional relevance in neural development and differentiation, the role of m6A modifications in HIV neuropathogenesis is unknown. Using anti-N6-methyladenosine (m6A) antibody-immunoprecipitation and microarray profiling, we identified m6A modifications in miRNAs in basal ganglia...
