Meyer and Jaffrey Genome Biology (2016) 17:5 DOI 10.1186/s13059-016-0874-RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTOpen AccessExpanding the diversity of DNA base modifications with N6-methyldeoxyadenosineKate D. Meyer and Samie R. Jaffrey*Unlike higher eukaryotes, many bacteria are known to contain additional DNA base modifications. These include C-4-methylated cytosine (4mC), as well as methylated adenine (N6-methyladenine, or 6 mA). The methylated base, 6 mA, or the corresponding nucleotide N6-methyldeoxyadenosine (m6dA), is an important component of the restriction/modification system used to defend against bacteriophage invasion. This system uses the methylation of host cell DNA to prot.
