MeRIPseq
MeRIPseq
stands
for
methylated
RNA immunoprecipitation
sequencing
, which is a
method
for
detection
of post-transcriptional
RNA
modifications
. It is also called m6A-seq.
A
variation
of the MerIP-seq method was
coined
by
Benjamin
Delatte and
colleagues
in
2016
. This
variant
, called hMerIP-seq, uses an
antibody
that
specifically
recognizes
5-hydroxymethylcytosine
, a
modified
RNA base
affecting
in
vitro
translation
and
brain development
in
Drosophila
.
