N6-methyladenosine (m6A), as the most abundant internal modification with ubiquitous feature in eukaryotic mRNAs, has been connected with many fundamental aspects of RNA metabolism such as translation1,2,3, splicing4,5, stability and decay6. m6A modification is reversible and can be regulated by three groups of molecules commonly referred to as writers, erasers and readers. m6A writers are the components of the multi-complex methyltransferase catalyzing the formation of m6A methylation, among which METTL3, METTL14,
