AB  - <i>N</i><sup>6</sup>-methyladenosine (m<sup>6</sup>A) is the most abundant internal modification in mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA), constituting 0.1 %–0.4 % of total adenosine residues in the transcriptome. m<sup>6</sup>A regulates mRNA stability and translation, pre-mRNA splicing, miRNA biogenesis, lncRNA binding, and many other physiological and pathological processes. While the majority of m<sup>6</sup>As occur in a consensus motif of DRm<sup>6</sup>ACH (D=A/G/U, R=A/G, H=U/A/C), the presence of such a motif does not guarantee methylation. Different RNA copies transcribed from the same gene may be methylated to varying levels. Within a single transcript, m<sup>6</sup>As are not evenly distributed, showing an enrichment in long internal and terminal exons. These characteristics of m<sup>6</sup>A deposition call for sequencing methods that not only pinpoint m<sup>6</sup>A sites at base resolution, but also quantitate the abundance of methylation across different RNA copies. In this review, we summarize existing m<sup>6</sup>A profiling methods, with an emphasis on next generation sequencing-(NGS−)based, site-specific, and quantitative methods, as well as several emerging single-cell methods.
