The N 6-methyladenosine methyltransferase METTL16 enables erythropoiesis through safeguarding genome integrity

In this work, Yoshinaga et al. use functional CRISPR screens and in vivo analyses to show that an RNA methyltransferase METTL16 and MTR4-nuclear exosome play an essential role in maintaining erythropoiesis and regulating DNA repair in erythroblasts.
