N6 -methyladenosine (m6 A) modification is the most common and reversible post-transcriptional modification of RNA in eukaryotes, which is mainly regulated by methyltransferase, demethylase and specific binding protein. The replication of virus and host immune response to virus are affected by m6 A modification. In different kinds of virus, m6 A modification has two completely opposite regulatory functions. This paper reviews the regulatory effects of m6 A modification on different viruses, and provides a reference for studying the regulatory effects of RNA epitranscriptomic modification.
