Case Study of the Response of N <sup>6</sup> -Methyladenine DNA Modification to Environmental Stressors in the Unicellular Eukaryote Tetrahymena thermophila
Yalan Sheng, Bo Pan, Wei Fan, Yuanyuan Wang, Shan Gao
Abstract
Increasing evidence indicated that 6mA could respond to environmental stressors in multicellular eukaryotes. As 6mA distribution and function differ significantly in multicellular and unicellular organisms, whether and how 6mA in unicellular eukaryotes responds to environmental stress remains elusive.
