As the most pervasive epigenetic marker present on mRNA and lncRNA, N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) RNA methylation has been found to participate in essential biological processes. Recent studies revealed the distinct patterns of m⁶A methylome across human tissues, and a major challenge remains in elucidating the tissue-specific presence and circuitry of m⁶A methylation. We present here a comprehensive online platform m6A-TSHub for unveiling the context-specific m⁶A methylation and genetic mutations that potentially regulate m⁶A epigenetic mark. m6A-TSHub consists of four core components, including (1) m6A-TSDB: a comprehensive database of 184,554 functionally annotated m⁶A sites derived from 23 human tissues and 499,369 m⁶A sites from 25 tumor conditions, respectively; (2) m6A-TSFinder: a web server for high-accuracy prediction of m⁶A methylation sites within a specific tissue from RNA sequences, which was constructed using multi-instance deep neural networks with gated attention; (3) m6A-TSVar: a web server for assessing the impact of genetic variants on tissue-specific m⁶A RNA modification; and (4) m6A-CAVar: a database of 587,983 TCGA cancer mutations (derived from 27 cancer types) that were predicted to affect m⁶A modifications in the primary tissue of cancers. The database should make a useful resource for studying the m⁶A methylome and genetic factor of epitranscriptome disturbance in a specific tissue (or cancer type). m6A-TSHub is accessible at: www.xjtlu.edu.cn/biologicalsciences/m6ats.
