N-6-methyladenosine (m(6)A), the most abundant internal mRNA modification, and N-6,2'-O-dimethyladenosine (m(6)Am), found at the first-transcribed nucleotide, are two reversible epitranscriptomic marks. However, the profiles and distribution patterns of m(6)A and m(6)Am across human and mouse tissues are poorly characterized. Here, we report the m(6)A and m(6)Am methylome through profiling of 43 human and 16 mouse tissues and demonstrate strongest tissue specificity for the brain tissues. A small subset of tissue-specific m(6)A peaks can also readily classify tissue types. The overall m(6)A and m(6)Am level is partially correlated with the expression level of their writers and erasers. Additionally, the m(6)A-containing regions are enriched for SNPs. Furthermore, cross-species analysis revealed that species rather than tissue type is the primary determinant of methylation. Collectively, our study provides an in-depth resource for dissecting the landscape and regulation of the m(6)A and m(6)Am epitranscriptomic marks across mammalian tissues.
