Abstract
In a recent Cell study,1 Quarto et al. uncovered a mechanism by which the METTL3-METTL14-DNMT1 axis fine-tunes gene expression during embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. This work highlights the interplay between epigenetics and epitranscriptomics, shedding light on how methylation of DNA and RNA coordinately regulates a subset of differentiation genes.
