We analyzed m6A across the transcriptome following infection by dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) using MeRIP-seq. We used the uninfected replicates, among which we would expect little biological variation in methylation, as negative controls to validate statistical methods for the detection of m6A changes in MeRIP-seq data. Applying validated statistical methods, we found that innate immune response to Flaviviridae viruses alters m6A modification of specific cellular transcripts compared to uninfected controls. Finally, we find that these changes in m6A can in turn affect splicing or translation of genes relevant to infection.
