| Summary: | RNA modifications play vital roles in regulating gene expression of eukaryotes. The most prevalent RNA modification among them is N<sup> 6</sup>-methyladenosine (m<sup>6</sup>A), which is involved in a series of physiological activities. The mechanism of m<sup>6</sup>A regulatory enzymes as well as reader proteins, the process of m<sup>6</sup>A dynamic regulation, and the regular pattern of m<sup>6</sup>A distribution in mRNAs were introduced, and the typical biological functions of m<sup>6</sup>A mainly according to the recent progresses made in insects were summarized. Above the review, we preview the research and application prospects of m<sup>6</sup>A from the aspects of vacancies existing in current study and related phenomenon to be explain, aimed at forming the latest reference for exploration of m<sup>6</sup>A in insects. |
