Based on the 6 significant m6A regulators with differential expression in the dataset, we further validated the expression of the 6 m6A regulators (METTL3, YTHDC1, YTHDF2, RBM15B, LRPPRC and CBLL1) in 10 osteomyelitis samples and 10 control samples by qRT‒PCR analysis. This evidence concerns the gene YTHDF2 and osteomyelitis.
