‘(m6)A’ stands for ‘autoimmunity’: reading, writing, and erasing RNA modifications during inflammation

Covalent RNA modifications that regulate gene expression post transcriptionally, in particular N6-methyladenosine (m6A), are emerging as important regulators of autoimmune responses. Here, we highlight new findings describing the functional diversity and specificity of m6A modifications and their regulation in the context of autoimmunity.
