Background:

N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) is a crucial RNA modification regulating gene expression and cellular processes.
Existing transcriptome-wide m⁶A profiling methods demand substantial RNA input, limiting analysis in rare cell types or limited tissue samples.

Purpose of the Study:

To enhance the sensitivity and applicability of m⁶A mapping techniques.
To enable m⁶A profiling in challenging biological samples with limited RNA availability.

Main Methods:

Development of an improved DART-seq utilizing an engineered YTH domain for enhanced m⁶A recognition.
Establishment of an *in vitro* DART-seq protocol adaptable to various sample types.
Application of DART-seq for single nucleotide-resolution m⁶A mapping.

Main Results:

The engineered YTH domain demonstrated improved m⁶A binding and recognition.
*In vitro* DART-seq achieved comparable performance to cellular DART-seq.
The optimized DART-seq method successfully mapped m⁶A using nanogram quantities of total RNA.

Conclusions:

The enhanced DART-seq approach significantly improves m⁶A detection sensitivity.
This method expands the scope of m⁶A profiling to previously inaccessible sample types.
These advancements facilitate a deeper understanding of m⁶A's role in gene regulation across diverse biological contexts.
